Disclosed is a data driven error model that is based on error patterns found at the morphemes level. A model is generated by error-correct patterns generator and is stored in an error-correct patterns database (ECPD). The ECPD is used in conjunction with a correction candidates' generator (CCG) to provide a list of correction candidates for a given error word. The error model can learn the types and forms of the language patterns from an annotated corpus. The error model can be used to analyze the type of error and can provide candidates corrections for wide ranges of Arabic spelling errors.
