Speller is an automated system that is responsible for spelling any word or phrase given. This goes with the the Blog post on Automating the Future called Automated Problem Solving with Genetic Algorithms. This algorithm has not been parallelized as of yet, so larger words or phrases will take a considerable amount of time to complete. The purpose of the project was to illustrate a easy to grasp example of Genetic algorithms. Feel free to download this code and play around and tweak it as you see fit. It is available to help users get the main concept behind genetic programs. For more information visit Genetic Programming site or Automating The Future

If you have a fast machine it should solve rather quickly, however, bigger words or phrases doesn't have a really good performance because the code has not been parallelized as of yet. That will perhaps be the next version of this project. For now, I believe it illustrates the point of the post quite well.
