The goal of the project is to develop various web services for easy and quick proofreading and editing of Bulgarian texts allowing users to correct spelling and grammar, and to look up words in various dictionaries.
The specific objectives of the project include the development of web applications (web services, web components and web applications) which:
- detect errors in Bulgarian texts and generate the most appropriate replacement suggestions;
- improve efficiency in proofreading and editing of Bulgarian texts (correct hyphenation, spelling autocorrect, automatic insertion or replacement of user-defined symbols and text);
