Spell Correction Flask

Overview

A Flask application for spell correction that uses dictionary substitution method. The dictionary we use in this repository is from [Peter Norvig] (https://norvig.com/ngrams/spell-errors.txt).

Usage

In this repository, Python 3.8.2 was used and it is recommended to create a virtual environment to isolate the dependencies used by this module.

$ virtualenv spell-correction-env
$ source ./spell-correction-env/Scripts/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

We implement the spell correction that uses dictionary substitution method. To use this, we have the /spell-correction view function. The request parameter for this function is text.

To run this app, we can use flask command

$ export FLASK_APP=api.py
$ flask run

We can also use python -m flask

export FLASK_APP=api.py
python -m flask run

Or simply use python command

python api.py

And head over to

http//127.0.0.1:5000/spell-correction?text=raning

We can also test out our API using curl command in the following manner

$ curl http//127.0.0.1:5000/spell-correction?text=raning
raining
$ curl http//127.0.0.1:5000/spell-correction?text=agresion
aggression
$ curl http//127.0.0.1:5000/spell-correction?text=canned
caned
