Chinese has been widely used by people from all over the world. Various Chinese spelling errors may occur inevitably from Chinese as Foreign Language (CFL) beginners. This paper presents a method for Chinese spelling check to detect and correct spelling errors in a sentence. Our approach is based on the sequence labeling model using the bi-direction LSTM network. We also utilize the Pinyin feature and Chinese strokes feature to improve performance. The evaluation on the SIGHAN-8 shows that our approach gets good performance on both detection and correction tasks.
