Project #1

Create a simple spelling checker for text files.

• Find and correct the common spelling errors found HERE
• output the corrected text to a file
• display stats
• user specifies input and output file names
• maintain upper and lower case between input and output files
• add a few words you misspell often
• loop for more input files

Design Questions: Auto-generate output files names? Write output files to a special directory?

Project #2

When you find a misspelled word in a text file, ask the user what to replace it with.

Design Questions: Accept a word's spelling and move on? Temporarily add the misspelled word to the list of words used on the current file?

Project #3

Create a simple spell checker for Python code files. For example, only spell check strings and/or comments.

What about other computer programming languages?

Project #4

Download a word list from the web.

Perhaps find/create a specialty word list containing jargon for a particular profession, group, or trade.

Note: Years ago I downloaded and used a 70,000+ word list. How would this effect your spell checker design?

FYI

SCOWL (Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a collection of word lists split up in various sizes and suitable for use in spell checkers.
