This dictionary would have hundreds of millions of rows even if you take
only reasonable user inputs. But what to do if the users inputs something
that's not in the dictionary? Of course I'm assuming you want to correct
typos, as it's doing now.

vogel: Vogel, Vögel
vigel: Vogel, Vögel
vpgel: Vogel, Vögel
wogel: Vogel, Vögel
wigel: Vogel, Vögel
vigem: Vogel, Vögel
vigwl: Vogel, Vögel
