In today’s world of smart phone typos, spell check has become more important than ever before. Setting up such as system, however, is a complete and total drag, let me tell you. But let me also tell you that there is a way out from this drudgery. Allow me to demonstrate.

We start with pip installation of our NLP client:

pip install git+https://github.com/Cloudmersive/Cloudmersive.APIClient.Python.NLP.git

Then move on to our function call:

from __future__ import print_functionimport timeimport cloudmersive_nlp_api_clientfrom cloudmersive_nlp_api_client.rest import ApiExceptionfrom pprint import pprint# Configure API key authorization: Apikeyconfiguration = cloudmersive_nlp_api_client.Configuration()configuration.api_key['Apikey'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY'# Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed# configuration.api_key_prefix['Apikey'] = 'Bearer'# create an instance of the API classapi_instance = cloudmersive_nlp_api_client.SpellCheckApi(cloudmersive_nlp_api_client.ApiClient(configuration))value = 'value_example' # str | Input wordtry:# Spell check wordapi_response = api_instance.spell_check_check_json(value)pprint(api_response)except ApiException as e:print("Exception when calling SpellCheckApi->spell_check_check_json: %s\n" % e)

Now we can enter in our word as a string and run the code. The API will respond back in JSON format, informing us if the word is spelled correctly or not. Simple!
