A method and device for correcting an error in a text are provided. The method includes: preprocessing the text to obtain at least one segment of the text; generating a plurality of candidate segments for the segment; scoring the plurality of candidate segments with a tree model, to obtain respective first scoring results of the plurality of candidate segments; scoring the plurality of candidate segments with a deep neural network model, to obtain respective second scoring results of the plurality of candidate segments; for each candidate segment, calculating a scoring of the candidate segment based on the first scoring result and the second scoring result of the candidate segment; ranking the plurality of candidate segments according to the scorings of the candidate segments, to obtain a ranking result; and correcting the error in the text according to the ranking result.
