Reverse Spell Checker?

[Workformoney]

Create a reverse spell checker in ruby, that returns a list of possible misspellings, with the probability of that misspelling. The final deliverable can be a ruby script, or simple Ruby on Rails app.

For example, given and input of the word "lawyer", give back a list of misspellings, with the probability of that word being misspelled.

Input: "lawyer"

Outout (return top 50 items):
misspelling, probability (based on 0 - 1 scale)
"lawer", .1
"layer",.08



Can anybody complete this, as I will pay for it.

Based on your post this looks like a homework assignment. Is it?

[Workformoney]

lol. Very good I like it!

But no, I am offering this as a job assignment and I have many more to come if you guys on this forum want paid work.

do you already have a algorithm for this? I'm curious how much you want to pay, :)

Hi there is no algorithm I know of.

This job description is merely a proposal given to me by one of my clients.

I think they want to pay around $200 or more.

Hi there is no algorithm I know of.
last year I start a similar project based on two methods to compute probablities but in perl. The biggest chalange was to manage the dictionary, :)
the project is still unfinished mainly because was for my own pleasure and I had more important things to do, :)

I don't have to much code in ruby, written by me, and last time when I use it was more then one years ago. That means that further question I could ask can waste your time but in my opinion is a good idea to post more details about project if this is possible.

best regards
