AardSpell works using the SOUND of the word - it will give you a list of words which are phonetically related to the word you entered.


HOW IT WORKS:

Simply type in how you think the word is spelled.

For example:

Type in "KORECT".Tap the "Search" button.AardSpell will give you a list of words similar to the one you typed.The list is sorted in order of the closest match.AardSpell searches for letters which sound similar, such as "P" and "B". This phonetic search scheme often results in a list of words which are quite different from the word you entered, but on the other hand it increases the chances of finding the word that you want.
