morpho-lexical analysis for printed Arabic words using c

ABSTRACT<br /> In this research we propose a statistical method and morpho-lexical analysis for correcting Arabic words as a post processor for Arabic words output from OCR systems. Dictionaries of words were built for the comparison to the attached word.<br /> The present research uses multiple knowledge sources and basing on the Arabic language properties, statistical method, morpho-lexical analysis and dictionary look-up for error detection and correction. Correction of errors in this research depends on the type of possible error, which can be: transposing two adjacent letters, rejection, replacing an incorrect letter, inserting a missing letter, substitution errors, which are most frequently committed by the OCR systems.
