This is a common feature of mean free text search engines and this can be helpful.

Xapian provides a core feature for that

Original ticket on Sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/bugs/849/

Download the Kiwix application for android and I installed it. I
downloaded the Wiktionary in Spanish, unzipped it and upload it to the
external memory of the smart phone. Since I read the application file
and all is well.

But when I write the wrong word Wiktionary does not correct
me. Example: in Spanish is written: ZAPATO. If SAPATO write the
application tells me: Error: "failed load SAPATO article", but does
not correct me should show me the options. You mean I have to be an
expert in the language to find, does not help me that way because the
objective is to correct me when I'm wrong.

If I do the same on the computer shows me as options:
1- Zapato
2 - Calzado
3 - Pasta de zapatos
4 - It is possible to improve the application for android?
5 - I'm failing at something?
