This is a model for correcting spelling and grammar errors in Icelandic text. It is based on the pretrained ByT5 model (https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.13626) and finetuned on Icelandic error correction data along with synthetic error data. The model is trained using the HuggingFace and PyTorch libraries.

The model is trained to correct a single sentence at a time, but may work on longer context.

The model performs well on correcting a variety of common issues in Icelandic text.
