Spell-checker / spelling correcter module for Nodejs based off of Peter Norvig's spelling corrector publication (http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html) and John Resig's instructions on string-based binary searching (http://ejohn.org/blog/revised-javascript-dictionary-search/).
npm install wordsworth
The sample /data/en_US/seed.txt and /data/en_US/training.txt files are fairly large and as such have
been compressed and provided in an archive located in /data/. To run the examples, extract
the contents of the archive into /en_US.
var sp = require('wordsworth').getInstance();
sp.initialize(
'../data/en_US/seed.txt',
'../data/en_US/training.txt', function() {
console.log('Initialized!');
// indicates whether or not the spell-checker knows the given word
console.log(sp.exists('hello'));
console.log(sp.exists('polymorphism'));
/**
* Accepts a single word and will return an ordered Array, most probable to
* least probable, of suggested spelling corrections IF the given word has been
* mis-spelled.
*/
console.log(sp.suggest('polymrphism'));
/**
* Will return an Object containing keys representing any misspelled
* words in the provided text along with an ordered Array of potential
* spelling corrections for each key.
*/
console.log(sp.analyze('This sentense will havv a fiw speling errorrs.'));
}
);
var sp = require('wordsworth').getInstance();
var seeds = ['one', 'two', 'three']; // language dictionary, one word per array index
var training = [
'large amounts of training text',
'ideally one sentence per array index'
];
sp.initializeSync(seeds, training);
sp.exists('one');
sp.suggest('some mis-spelled word');
