@article{damerau1964technique, 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.}, acmid = {363994}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Damerau, Fred J.}, doi = {10.1145/363958.363994}, interhash = {b10df81f1860fd8bd7990f4684ad6f3a}, intrahash = {e044ce6c52f977e009f9ca3d0e578eef}, issn = {0001-0782}, issue_date = {March 1964}, journal = {Commun.
