error correction
Rectifying detected faults
Error correction is the process of detecting and fixing mistakes.
In computing and telecommunications, it refers to methods that identify corrupted data during transmission or storage and restore it to its original form: The file arrived intact thanks to error correction.
In education and language learning, error correction means pointing out and remedying mistakes in student work.
