Python matching strings

So basically I want a program that will only work if the user types something like "I am sick" or "I am too cool" but will not work if they make a typo like "pi am cool".

Here's what I have so far:

text = input("text here: ") 
if re.search("i am", text) is not None:
   print("correct")

While you still haven't asked an actual question, it seems to me like you want something along the lines of

if text.lower().startswith('i am'):
    print('correct')

Or if you want to test if 'i am' appears anywhere in the string and not just at the start, you can use in:

if 'i am' in text.lower():
    print('correct')

Regular expressions seem like overkill here (unless you want more flexibility than what you describe).
