# Word Correction using Python's TextBlob Package

## Introduction

This repository contains a Python script that demonstrates how to perform word correction and text processing using the TextBlob package. TextBlob is a simple and powerful Python library for processing textual data. It provides a convenient API for diving into common natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including spell correction, sentiment analysis, and more.

In this script, we focus on word correction, where we input a text with possible spelling mistakes, and TextBlob will attempt to correct these mistakes automatically.

## Prerequisites

Before running the script in this repository, you will need to have the following installed:

- Python 3 (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
- TextBlob package (install using `pip install textblob`)
- nltk corpora (install using `python -m textblob.download_corpora`)

## Getting Started

1. Clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/AdadAlShabab/Word-Correction-Using-TextBlob-Package.git
```

2. Navigate to the project directory:

3. Install the required Python packages:

```bash
pip install textblob
python -m textblob.download_corpora
```

4. Run the `word_correction.py` script to see TextBlob in action:

```bash
python textblob.py
```

## Example

For example, if you have the following text:

```
Ecam
```

The script will correct it to:

```
Exam
```
