Spell Checker

Overview

The Spell Checker is a Java-based application that helps users identify and correct misspelled words in a given text file. It provides an intuitive user interface for loading dictionaries, text files, and custom words. The application utilizes a spell-checking algorithm to suggest corrections for misspelled words and allows users to save the corrected text.

Core Working

The spell checker works by comparing the words in the input text file against a loaded dictionary. It identifies misspelled words and suggests corrections based on a predefined algorithm (Levenshtein distance). Users can customize the dictionary by adding or removing words, enabling case sensitivity, and providing a list of custom words.

Features

• Spell Checking: Identifies and suggests corrections for misspelled words in the input text file.
• Custom Dictionary: Allows users to add or remove words from the dictionary, providing flexibility and customization.
• Case Sensitivity: Users can enable or disable case sensitivity for improved accuracy in spell checking.
• User Interface: A user-friendly interface with options to load dictionary and text files, customize settings, and view corrected text.
• Save Corrected Text: Enables users to save the corrected text to a new file for future use.
