@article{Damerau1964, abstract = {The method described assumes that a word which cannot be found in a dictionary has at most one error, which might be a wrong, missing or extra letter or a single transposition. The unidentified input word is compared to the dictionary again, testing each time to see if the words match—assuming one of these errors occurred. During a test run on garbled text, correct identifications were made for over 95 percent of these error types.}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Damerau, Fred J.}, doi = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/363958.363994}, interhash = {b10df81f1860fd8bd7990f4684ad6f3a}, intrahash = {668a64114d9dedf793cb2644e05dac14}, issn = {0001-0782}, journal = {Commun.
