This is a Rust implementation of Peter Norvig's statistical spell-checking algorithm. You can read more about the approach in the original article:
http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html
This is a port of the JavaScript implementation of the algorithm from https://github.com/past/speller
- src/lib.rs is the spell-checker implementation
- src/bin/speller.rs is a command-line program that can be used as a demo of the library
- src/bin/training.txt is Peter Norvig's original training file, with about a million words (obtained by converting the original file in the JavaScript implementation via
iconv -c -f ASCII -t UTF-8 ../speller/bin/big.txt > training.txt
