Abstract
This illustrative embodiments provide a mechanism for correcting a phonetically sourced spelling mistake. The mechanism receives a language text string comprising at least one spelling mistake word and transcribes the at least one spelling mistake word into a phonetic form of the spelling mistake word using a phonetic dictionary. The mechanism locates a correctly spelled phonetic form from a phonetic form dictionary having shortest edit distance between characters of the correctly spelled phonetic form word and the phonetic transcription whereby the phonetic form dictionary comprises correctly spelled words and associated phonetic forms of the correctly spelled words. The mechanism substitutes the correctly spelled word for the spelling mistake word in the text string.
