spell.suggest

spell.suggest(
   uri as String[],
   word as String,
   [options as Object?]
) as Sequence

Summary

Suggests a list of spellings for a word. Returns a Sequence containing the most likely spellings for the specified word.

Usage Notes

This function only provides suggestions to words that are less than 256 characters in length; words 256 characters or longer return no suggestions. Also, it removes any dictionary entries that are 256 characters or more, so it will never return a suggestion with greater than 256 characters.

Example

spell.suggest('myDictionary.xml','occasionally');

// Returns a Sequence containing suggestions such as the following,
// from the dictionary with URI "myDictionary.xml":
//
//   occasionally occasional occasion occasions occasion's
//   occasioned optionally educationally irrationally

Example

// Options usage
spell.suggest(
  '/my/dictionary.xml', 'occasionally', 
  { distanceThreshold: 200, maximum: 4}
);

// Returns a Sequence containing suggestions such as the following, from
// the dictionary with the URI "/my/dictionary.xml":
//
// "occasionally", "occasional", "occasion", "occasions"
