Abstract

The disclosed system and method apply stores of factual information to correct errors in digital text, for example, generated from OCR, speech and/or handwriting recognition devices, and other automatic recognition devices. A text produced by OCR, speech recognition, handwriting recognition, and others may be processed to extract discussed facts. Databases of facts are searched based on information in the text. After comparing facts asserted in the text with the factual data from the databases, suggested corrections of the text are produced.
