| Challenge: | Spell-checking as a generation task requires large amount of data, which is not feasible for endangered languages such as the languages spoken in Peru. |
| Approach: | They propose to use augmented misspelling data to train neural spell-checking models for four endangered languages of Peru: Shipibo-Koniba, Asháninka, Yánesha, yine . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves better scores in most of the errors and languages in the four indigenous languages of Peru: Shipibo-Koniba, Asháninka, Yánesha, yine. |
