Abstract
Spell checkers check whether a word is misspelled and provide suggestions to correct it. Detection and correction of spelling errors in Bangla language which is the seventh most spoken native language in the world, is very onerous because of the complex rules of Bangla spelling. There is no systematic literature review on this research topic. In this paper, we present a systematic literature review on checking and correcting spelling errors in Bangla language. We investigate the current methods used for spell checking and find out what challenges are addressed by those methods. We also report the limitations of those methods. Recent relevant studies are selected based on a set of significant criteria. Our results indicate that there are research gaps in this research topic and has a potential for further investigation.
