Q : Python Spell Checker using NLTK

Question

So i have this line of code using NLTK library

def autospell(text):
        spells = [spell(w) for w in (nltk.word_tokenize(text))]
        return " ".join(spells) 
train_data['Phrase'][:200].apply(autospell)

And i got this error telling me that the name spell is not defined, i dont know whats that mean because i thought it was from the NLTK library, or am i missing something somewhere?

NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

      6         return " ".join(spells)
----> 7 train_data['Phrase'][:200].apply(autospell)

      6         return " ".join(spells)
      7 train_data['Phrase'][:200].apply(autospell)

NameError: name 'spell' is not defined

Well, the code is calling a function named spell(); where is it declared? — Haroldo_OK

the previous function was this: ``` !pip install nltk from autocorrect import Speller def word_tokenize(text): return nltk.word_tokenize(text) ``` Im not sure of which that function spell was from the library or was it supposed to be from me? — Arkan

Check out Spell Checker for Python, you should probably use the autocorrect library. Example code :

from autocorrect import Speller

spell = Speller(lang='en')

def autospell(text):
        spells = [spell(w) for w in (nltk.word_tokenize(text))]
        return " ".join(spells) 
train_data['Phrase'][:200].apply(autospell)
