The paper presents LMSpell, an empirical study evaluating how different pre‑trained language models (PLMs) perform at spell correction across multiple languages, including low‑resource languages (LRLs). It demonstrates that even relatively small PLMs such as Gemma 3 (270 M parameters) and mBART50, when fine‑tuned on only 5,000 sentences, can surpass rule‑based spell correctors. A case study on Sinhala illustrates the challenges of spell correction for LRLs.
