This seems very focused on spelling. What I find is key for a good spell correction system is how the words sound. For example I find that Firefox often can't find the word I meant for it's suggestion list but pasting the misspelt word into Google gets the right result 99% of the time as the one provided option.

I wonder how difficult it would be to adapt this to work on sounds or other frequent typos and misspelling sources instead of just characters. It seems it should he possible if you can define a decent "normalization" function.
