---------------------------------
> Investigate adding a spell checker
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: TEXT-78
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-78
> Project: Commons Text
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Bruno P. Kinoshita
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: help-wanted, spellcheck, spellchecker, spelling, text
>
> There are already spell checkers such as
> [Hunspell|http://hunspell.github.io/] (which has its own API to define
> suffixes and prefix), and simpler spell checkers like [jazzy
> (forked)|https://github.com/reckart/jazzy].
> Hunspell (GPL/mixed) is written in C++, and Java programs that use it
> normally use native access through
> [BridJ|https://github.com/thomas-joiner/HunspellBridJ]/[JNA|https://github.com/dren-dk/HunspellJNA].
> Jazzy (LGPL) is good, but not actively maintained, and simply looks up words
> from a dictionary.
> We can provide a simple interface, and perhaps one or two different spell
> checkers in pure Java.
> Having edit distances already in the project, we could investigate something
> such as adding a [BK-Tree|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BK-tree], an
> in-memory look-up spell checker, etc.
> When creating the initial interfaces & design, it will be important to
> remember that we want to support multiple languages too.
