Hi,

I noticed a lot of ebooks I downloaded still contain OCR errors and other spelling mistakes (hyphens still present, missing spaces, etc.) and I couldn't really find a good way to remove those errors in bulk. I tried in Sigil but that took a long time, so I decided to write my own tool to speed up correcting things.

I've released it as open source on https://epubspellchecker.codeplex.com/

Don't hope for 1-click-fix-everything button though, each entry will still have to be reviewed manually, but it's a lot faster to hit 'space' to use the suggested correction than to manually review each sentence in Sigil.

Any suggestions or remarks are welcome
