Find out the word with a mistake

Here’s a javascript implementation of the levenshteinDistance algorithm which gives you a measure of how different two sequences of characters are. In this example, I compare each word in a series of test source strings to a particular candidate word. There are many ways to extend this further such as understanding plural forms and not discounting a match that only diffs in plurality. Anyway, here’s the implementation with a link to a demo below:

function levenshteinDistance (s, t) {
        if (!s.length) return t.length;
        if (!t.length) return s.length;

        return Math.min(
                levenshteinDistance(s.substr(1), t) + 1,
                levenshteinDistance(t.substr(1), s) + 1,
                levenshteinDistance(s.substr(1), t.substr(1)) + (s.charAt(0).toLowerCase() !== t.charAt(0).toLowerCase() ? 1 : 0)
        );
}

var testStrings = [
    "People are afraid of monters.",
    "Mansters are very scary, even in the daytime",
    "I like mnsters.",
    "I like a big, scary monser"
];

var candidateWord = "monsters";
var words;
var results = [];
for (var i = 0; i < testStrings.length; i++) {
    words = testStrings[i].split(/[s.,<>;:'"{}[]]+/);
    for (var j = 0; j < words.length; j++) {
        if (words[j]) {
            results.push({word: words[j], score: levenshteinDistance(words[j], candidateWord)});
        }
    }
}

And, a working demo: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/3xEwj/

After sorting the output, it shows these scores for each of the words in the test string (lower score means smaller difference, so better match):

Score: 1
    monters
    Mansters
    mnsters
Score: 2
    monser
Score: 6
    scary
    very
    scary
Score: 7
    People
    of
    even
    in
    are
    daytime
    like
    like
    are
    the
Score: 8
    I
    I
    a
    big
    afraid

You can package up this logic however you want. You can set a threshold for how much difference you are willing to tolerate and then just use that threshold as a binary match. For example, you could set your threshold at 2 so that any score less than or equal to 2 means it’s a match.
