DESCRIPTION

This module provides a Perl interface to the Web-based korean speller service( 온라인 한국어 맞춤법/문법 검사기 - http://speller.cs.pusan.ac.kr ).

CAUTION

I'm afraid we don't have a good open source korean spell checker. but there is a decent proprietary service that runs on the online website( 온라인 한국어 맞춤법/문법 검사기 - http://speller.cs.pusan.ac.kr ). So I made this module with web-scrapping approach, this is easy to mess up if they change layout of the website. Let me know if this does not work. *This module follows the same terms of the original service agreement.*

METHODS

new( text => 'text for spell check' )

Returns an obejct instance of this module. text should be "Unicode string"(a.k.a. perl's internal format - utf8 encoding/utf8 flag on)

spellcheck

Returns results as array of hases, See SYNOPSIS. you can easily convert AoH to JSON or XML.
