| Challenge: | Existing spellcheckers are tuned to the needs of adults and are unsatisfactory for children due to their varying cognitive capabilities. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that maps misspelled words and spelling suggestions to their phonetic keys and a selection process that prioritizes candidate spelling suggestions that closely align with the misspelled word. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing spellcheckers in a number of offline experiments using existing and novel datasets. |
