  This is a model for correcting spelling and grammar errors in Icelandic text. It is based on the pretrained ByT5 model (https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.13626) and finetuned on Icelandic error correction data along with synthetic error data. The model is trained using the HuggingFace and PyTorch libraries.
  
  The model is trained to correct a single sentence at a time, but may work on longer context.
  
  The model performs well on correcting a variety of common issues in Icelandic text.
  
  This README will be updated soon along with citation reference.
