The research is to describe the corrections made by the Microsoft Word Text Editor spellcheck .
What are the correction levels addopted? What rules are used in order to make the corrections? What types of errors are not detected or are corrected wrongly? Why these corrections of errors occur? What rule would have caused this error? Could you suggest me some researches on that line?
The basic levels of corrections are made through the MS word spell check. It follows American English in spell check. It creates a problem with the learner in country like India where students follow MS Word spell check in their writings but the GIE is based on British English
dear researcher
A basic spell checker carries out the following processes:
It scans the text and extracts the words contained in it
It then compares each word with a known list of correctly spelled words (i.e. a dictionary). This might contain just a list of words, or it might also contain additional information, such as hyphenation points or lexical and grammatical attributes.
An additional step is a language-dependent algorithm for handling morphology. Even for a lightly inflected language like English, the spell-checker will need to consider different forms of the same word, such as plurals, verbal forms, contractions, andpossessives. For many other languages, such as those featuring agglutination and more complex declension and conjugation, this part of the process is more complicated.
different rules applied are
