Abstract
The design and development of a spellchecker for highly inflected languages is commonly regarded as a challenging task. In this paper we present the architecture of Hascheck, a spellchecking system developed for Croatian language. We describe functional elements that make it an intelligent system and discuss specific issues related to Hascheck’s dictionary size as well as its guessing and learning capabilities.
