Hi
Has anyone ever used Open Refine to identify and correct spelling errors? Is there any obvious methods for this?
I have datasets from Excel that contain cells that include lengthy sentences. These will often contain spelling mistakes. A version of the word facet that cross referenced the words with a dictionary and only presented unknown words (words not found in a dictionary) is kind of what I am looking for, but that doesn’t appear to exist as a menu option. An even better option would be a function like that, but which also worked a bit like the cluster and edit function – (e.g. a spell check and edit function that lists words not found in a dictionary and offers an easy option to replace them.
Before I make a feature request and as this is somewhat of an immediate problem, I thought I’d see if anyone already has a way of solving a similar problem.
Open Refine doesn’t seem to recognise pyspellchecker, so it seems may best option at the moment is for me to create a python script for this purpose outside of OR.
Thanks
Graham
