Speller Uses Phonetic Algorithm For Possible |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: If the user types the word "heresay" and then spell checks the word, the Speller will not list "hearsay" as the correction. Solutions: Speller is working as designed. The speller first checks a word by using an algorithm that determines if any of the letters have been switched while typing. Second, if the first check cannot produce a possible match, then the speller begins checking the word phonetically. In the case of the word "heresay", the switching algorithm cannot find the word misspelled because of the absence of the letter "a" in the first four letters. The next process, which checks the word phonetically, finds "heresy" because the word is spelled so close to the word heresay. The speller finds the possible spelling corrections with the phonetic algorithm. |
