Automatic spelling correction

Aspose.OCR for Python via .NET can automatically replace commonly misspelled words in recognition results with the correct ones. This functionality supports the following languages:

Value	Language
`SpellCheckLanguage.CZE`	Czech
`SpellCheckLanguage.DAN`	Danish
`SpellCheckLanguage.DEU`	German
`SpellCheckLanguage.DUM`	Dutch
`SpellCheckLanguage.ENG`	English
`SpellCheckLanguage.EST`	Estonian
`SpellCheckLanguage.FIN`	Finnish
`SpellCheckLanguage.FRA`	French
`SpellCheckLanguage.ITA`	Italian
`SpellCheckLanguage.LAV`	Latvian
`SpellCheckLanguage.LIT`	Lithuanian
`SpellCheckLanguage.POL`	Polish
`SpellCheckLanguage.POR`	Portuguese
`SpellCheckLanguage.RUM`	Romanian
`SpellCheckLanguage.SLK`	Slovak
`SpellCheckLanguage.SLV`	Slovene
`SpellCheckLanguage.SPA`	Spanish
`SpellCheckLanguage.SWE`	Swedish

Spell checking is done on the fly, either on output (get_spell_check_corrected_text() method) or on saving the results:

Output corrected results

# Instantiate Aspose.OCR API
api = AsposeOcr()
# Add image to the recognition batch
input = OcrInput(InputType.SINGLE_IMAGE)
input.add("source.png")
# Recognize the image
result = api.recognize(input)
# Print corrected results
correctedResult = results[0].get_spell_check_corrected_text(SpellCheckLanguage.ENG)
print(correctedResult)

Save corrected results

# Instantiate Aspose.OCR API
api = AsposeOcr()
# Add image to the recognition batch
input = OcrInput(InputType.SINGLE_IMAGE)
input.add("source.png")
# Recognize the image
results = api.recognize(input)
# Save recognition result
results[0].save("result.txt", SaveFormat.TEXT, true, SpellCheckLanguage.DEU)

Automatic spelling correction requires additional processing resources and is disabled by default.

Spelling correction of any text

You can also correct misspelled words in any text string using correct_spelling() method of AsposeOcr class:

# Instantiate Aspose.OCR API
api = AsposeOcr()
# Correct spelling in string
text = "Die schönste Jungfrau sitzet dort oben wunderbar"
correctedText = api.correct_spelling(text, SpellCheckLanguage.DEU)
print(correctedText)
