korrrekt

Korrrekt is a multilingual text correction platform and community project that aims to improve written communication through automated spelling, grammar, punctuation, and style suggestions. It emphasizes clarity, reproducibility, and user control, offering both an API for developers and a web interface for writers, editors, and educators.

The project began in the early 2020s as a collaborative effort by researchers and open-source contributors who sought to standardize correction tools across languages and domains. It is released under an open-source license and welcomes new participants through a code of conduct and contribution guidelines.

Korrrekt combines rule-based checks with statistical and machine learning methods to produce context-aware recommendations. Its engine supports numerous languages, with customizable dictionaries, style guides, and domain-specific models. Users can review, accept, or customize suggestions and export corrected text in various formats.

In practice, Korrrekt is used by educational platforms, publishers, and content management systems to assist writers during drafting and editing. It has been praised for modularity and transparency but has faced critique regarding biases in language models and the need for monitoring to avoid overcorrecting legitimate stylistic choices.

The project is maintained by a dispersed community and organized around regular releases, issue tracking, and community governance. Ongoing development focuses on expanding language coverage, improving explainability of corrections, and ensuring accessibility and privacy protections for user data.
