Abstract: Systems and processes for providing spelling corrections are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory: receiving a user input; obtaining a text string corresponding to a first symbolic system of a language; determining, based on the text string, a plurality of character segments, which includes a first character segment and a second character segment both corresponding to a same portion of the text string. At least one of the first character segment and the second character segment is a modified version of the portion of the text string. The method further includes determining, based on the plurality of character segments, a plurality of sequences of candidate words in a second symbolic system of the language; identifying a sequence of the plurality of sequences of candidate words; and displaying the sequence of candidate words for user selection.
