Spell checker is the application, which helps in finding the spelling errors in a given text. Applications like word processors, mails, search engines, speech recognition and social media forums need these kinds of spell checking tools to increase the correctness of the system. Spell checking is completely implemented in languages such as English, French, and Chinese. But as far as Indian regional languages is concerned, very few works have been carried out, that too partially. Tamil is one such Indian regional language, which requires a fully implemented spell checking application as many people started using this language in social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Spelling errors fall on different categories in Tamil language, which involves Sandhi errors, Homophone errors (Mayangoli), and misspelt words error. To tackle all these errors, a new ensemble approach is proposed in this paper. The proposed approach consists of Levenshtein's edit distance algorithm, rule-based algorithm, Soundex algorithm along with LSTM (Long Short Term Memory) model. We have used a special feature called combine character splitting of Tamil alphabets for feeding the LSTM model to improve the performance of the system. Proposed system produced an accuracy of 95.67%, which is approved by the Tamil scholar.

Ocular morbidities affecting the children result in a serious health and economic burden and negatively impacts their developmental milestones. This study was performed to assess the prevalence and pattern of ocular diseases, and to know the common causes of childhood blindness amongst the children aged 0-15 years.This was a single centre, cross-sectional observational study performed in the Department of Ophthalmology, Government Medical College and Hospital, Latur, Maharashtra, India and involved 380 children, aged 0-15 years, presenting with different ocular morbidities. The study was performed over a period of 18 months i.e., from January 2018 to June 2019. A detailed history and ophthalmic examination (consisting of visual acuity, color vision, refraction, cycloplegic refraction, anterior segment examination, fundus examination, and detection of squint) were performed to evaluate different ocular diseases.Majority of the cases were males (52.9%), and belonged to 11-15 years of age group (53.9%). Amongst all the presenting ocular complaints, diminution of vision (34.50%) followed by headache (9.20%), and itching in eyes (8.20%) were most prevalent. Majority of the cases had good visual acuity [(best-corrected visual acuity) >6/18, 65.50%]. While, severe visual impairment was observed in 2.90% cases. Refractive errors (31.60%) followed by allergic conjunctivitis (19.20%) were the most commonly observed ocular disorders. Moreover, myopia (43.33%) was the commonest refractive error. Similarly, amongst cases with ocular infection, most commonly observed condition was infective conjunctivitis (24.44%). Finally, congenital cataract (27.91%) and blunt ocular trauma (52.63%) were the most frequently observed congenital ocular disease and cause of ocular trauma respectively among children. Findings of this study highlight that the majority of the pediatric ocular morbidities are both preventable and treatable. However, efforts should be directed towards health education and screening programs in children.
