[TriLUG] Automatic Spell Checking in Linux

Hey guys,

My project at work is about to start OCRing thousands of pages of stuff and
I would like some way to run an input file of messed up OCR stuff and have
it spell check and return the most likely spellings automatically.

Think of it like Google where you type "Lnus Torvald" and it says "Did you
mean Linus Torvald?"

So basically, does anyone know of a program that will perform all of that
stuff automatically for a text file and then allow it to output a new large
chunk of text with the changes made.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Michael Ham
