Abstract
This paper describes a method for correcting English text using a PPM model. A method that segments words in English text is introduced and is shown to be a significant improvement over previously used methods. A similar technique is also applied as a post-processing stage after pages have been recognized by a state-of-theart commercial OCR system. We show that the accuracy of the OCR system can be increased from 96.3% to 96.9%, a decrease of about 14 errors per page.
