Noisy Text in RAG: Typos, OCR, and the Gap Classical Spell-Check Leaves

SMRTR summary

Classical spell-checkers fix simple typos but fail when errors involve valid-word substitutions, scrambled word boundaries, or OCR character misreads. Embeddings handle these cases naturally by matching meaning over context, but keyword-based search still breaks on typos, so enterprise RAG pipelines need both approaches working together.

SMRTR provides this summary for quick context. The original article belongs to Daily.dev.
