Building a Latin spell checker

This repository provides example code for my blog article "Uncovering censorship in the 16th century with Transkribus and Python. Episode IV: Detecting OCR transcription errors."

• build_symspell_dictionary is a Jupyter notebook explaining how to generate a frequency list from a huge corpus of Latin text and use this list with SymSpellPy.
• flask_rudimentary is a rudimentary Flask app to demonstrate the basic principle.
• flask_simple is a slightly more complex Flask app demonstrating the Jinja templating engine.
• At the end of the blog article, I explain my Transkribus spell checker app.
