<h4 class="appendixsubsec">D.3.2 Hidden Markov Model</h4>
<p>Knud Haugaard Sørensen suggested this one. From his email on the
Aspell mailing list:
<p>consider these examples:
<pre class="example"> a fone number.
-> a phone number.
a fone dress.
-> a fine dress.
</pre>
<p>the example illustrates that the right correction might depend on the
context of the word.
<p>So I suggested that you take a look on HMM to solve this problem.
<p>This might also provide a good base to include grammar correction in
Aspell.

<p>I think it is a great idea.
However unfortunately it will probably be very complicated to implement.
Perhaps in the far future.
