Abstract

Hindi, the majority language of India, is still in its infancy stage concerning to natural language processing applications and research. Spelling detection and correction for Hindi language is an important process which has received inadequate attention. Today, there is lots of work available for English Spelling detection and correction but for Hindi, not much work has been done. Unlike English which has only two types of letters i.e. 21 consonants and 5 vowels, Hindi language in addition to 40 consonants, 10 vowels, consists of various types of symbols (ten vowel sign (matras), half letters & halant etc.). So the methods available for English cannot be directly applied for Hindi. Various documents, newspaper, novels, books, magazines, government notice etc. are typed in Hindi so there is need for development of spelling detection and correction tools for Hindi. In this paper author focused on detection and correction of spelling errors in Hindi language for non-word errors.
