Spell Checking

The spell checker uses a dictionary of known Nepali words and Levenshtein edit distance to detect and suggest corrections for misspelled words.

Features

• Dictionary-based spell checking
• Levenshtein distance for correction suggestions
• Custom dictionary through stopword management

Basic Usage

from nepalikit.spell_checker import check_spelling, suggest_corrections

# Check if a word is spelled correctly
print(check_spelling("नेपाल"))   # True
print(check_spelling("नेपालक"))  # False

# Get correction suggestions
suggestions = suggest_corrections("नेपालक")
print(suggestions)  # ["नेपालको", "नेपालका"]

• The dictionary size directly impacts accuracy
• Common misspellings may not have suggestions if too distant
