Hey,
Thank you for the great extension. Can you add one more block that identifies if it is a valid word or not. Like if we provide text tree then it returns true and rbsixj then it returns false.

Also what method did you used to autocorrect text?

Thanks…

What languages does the extension support? English only? although T9 itself corrects errors

Please provide some example blocks including Do it results so everyone is able to see how this works…

as we did not get an answer up to now, I examined the source code of the extension

  @SimpleFunction(description = "Automatically correct any spelling errors in the input text.")
  public String AutoCorrectText(String paramString) {
    HashMap<Object, Object> hashMap = new HashMap<>();
    hashMap.put("teh", "the");
    hashMap.put("wierd", "weird");
    hashMap.put("recieve", "receive");
    String[] arrayOfString = paramString.split("\\s+");
    StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
    for (String str1 : arrayOfString) {
      String str2 = (String)hashMap.getOrDefault(str1.toLowerCase(), str1);
      stringBuilder.append(str2).append(" ");
    } 
    return stringBuilder.toString().trim();
  }

which means, only the 3 misspelled words teh, wierd and recieve will be autocorrected to the, weird or receive…
