How to Spellcheck a Sentence in Python

Spellcheck is one of the most common and important features out there, but it is also one of the most aggravating to create yourself. If you will allow me to spare you from the tedium, I can show you an incredibly easy way to implement this feature into your project with essentially no effort whatsoever. Sound good? Keep reading.

We will be using an API to get this job done for us, so let’s start out by installing its client now.

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

Our API contains a function called spell_check_check_sentence_string, which we can access via an API key. The below example demonstrates how to set that up.

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import cloudmersive_nlp_api_client
from cloudmersive_nlp_api_client.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint
# Configure API key authorization: Apikey
configuration = 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 class
api_instance = cloudmersive_nlp_api_client.SpellCheckApi(cloudmersive_nlp_api_client.ApiClient(configuration))
value = 'value_example' # str | Input sentence word
try:
# Spell check a sentence
api_response = api_instance.spell_check_check_sentence_string(value)
pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling SpellCheckApi->spell_check_check_sentence_string: %s\n" % e)

Done. See how easy an API can make your life? This library also has spellcheck for individual words, and a number of functions related to Natural Language Processing.
