Here I assume that "word" is any string consisting of letters, feel free
to add your own check in place of str.isalpha, like word length or case.
Note that simple ops like concatenation work much faster with buffers
than str / unicode.

  text = 'some text to correct (anything, really)'
  result = buffer('')

  word, c = buffer(''), ''
  for c in text:
    if c.isalpha(): word += c
    else:
      if word:
        result += correct(word)
        word = buffer('')
      result += c
