Abstract
A compound word spelling verification technique is described for use with a dictionary which does not include all verifiable compounds. During verification of a text word, an attempt is made to find a pair of words in the dictionary of which the text word consists. A table associated with the dictionary includes compound class information relative to each of the words stored therein. The compound class of each of the pair of words of which the input text word consists are tested for compatibility to determine if each of the pair of words may acceptably be used in a compound word in the physical position in which it is found in the input text word.
