Re: "Spell checker has no dictionaries"

[John Kane]

 I just installed 4 or 5 spellchecker dictionaries using the standard sudu 
apt-get install command in Ubuntu. 

Of course, I installed the hunspell-en-ca dictionary that spells things like 
colour correctly

Rich,

Hunspell uses its own set of dictionaries, such as Hunspell-en-us (U.S. 
English), Hunspell-en-gb (English with unnecessary extra letters), 
Hunspell-de-med (medical terms in German) etc. Looks like you have to 
install one or more of them. Assuming your default language is U.S. 
English, you'll need Hunspell-en-us for sure. With Ubuntu and Mint, you 
can do this through Synaptic or (at least in Mint) the Software Sources 
app. I forget what distro you use, but if has a package manager I would 
start there.

Paul,

  Well that would certainly explain the problem.

  Sure enough, SlackBuilds.org has an English language package which
provides five dictionaries of English usage - Australian,
Canadian, United States, and two forms of British English.

  As the package maintainer explains, "he reason I've included two forms of
British English dictionaries are:

"1. The -ise suffix is more commonly used by British speakers and all other
forms such as en_DK, en_IE, en_IN, etc are symbolic links to en_GB-ise.

"2. the en_GB-ize/en_GB-oxendict which uses the -ize suffix is known as
Oxford English Dictionary Spelling and is generally favored for academic,
formal, and technical writing."

  I modified the build script to limit it to US_en as that's the only flavor
I speak/write.

Thanks for the pointer,

Rich

Re: spell checker

[John Kane]

Just tried it and it seems that it will only correct one word in one cell.
However if one is spell checking regular text above and below the table it
will a) check the text above and below the text but only correct one word
in one cell of the table.

If this is a feature and not a bug, it seems a very unusual feature

The default on OSX is the native spell checker service of Apple. AFAIK it’s 
internally some hunspell-based spell checker engine. But, by using the OSX 
based service the learned words are not application specific. If a word was 
learned it’s possible to „unlearn“ it again with right mouse button menu.

Thanks for the confirmation.  Though, I think that's a *very* weird word to

“baed” is accepted as a word in my OS X as well (in LyX as well as other

According to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/baed it is the "simple past tense

Is it possible you accidentally told the spell checker to accept this word?

Re: LyX Spell Checker Sanity Check

Joel,

'baed' did appear in the Urban Dictionary a few years ago. It was explained
as the mis-pronunication of the word 'bad'. Surprised that it seems be 
in  a

spell-checker.

Indeed. Looks like you installed from the official repos, and it seems
they don't compile with support for hunspell (or any spellchecker, I'm
suspecting). Try installing from the PPA, which is built with support
for aspell, hunspell and enchant.

What do you have under Tools  Preferences  Paths  Hunspell?

In my opinion we should automatically fill that in (e.g. LyX should
try to find the Hunspell libraries).

Thanks to all three of you. I am answering to the three messages.
The paths allow to search for the Thesaurus, but the Hunspell search box 
is greyed out and I can'write into it.

 The hunspell dictionary path input field is enabled if and only if
 the code of the hunspell engine is part of LyX. This is a decision
 of the LyX packager. It looks like the LyX package you're using is
 built without any spell checker support.

Indeed. Looks like you installed from the official repos, and it seems
they don't compile with support for hunspell (or any spellchecker, I'm
suspecting). Try installing from the PPA, which is built with support
for aspell, hunspell and enchant.

Thanks to all of you. Glad that you found the reason. There is a Linux 
day TUEBIX on the 13th of June in Tuebingen, Germany,

http://www.tuebix.org/programm_raumplan/
with quite a number of talks/workshops, and I will present LyX; would 
have been a pity without the spellchecker.

Will follow your advice.

The hunspell dictionary path input field is enabled if and only if
the code of the hunspell engine is part of LyX. This is a decision
of the LyX packager. It looks like the LyX package you're using is
built without any spell checker support.

Indeed. Looks like you installed from the official repos, and it seems
they don't compile with support for hunspell (or any spellchecker, I'm
suspecting). Try installing from the PPA, which is built with support
for aspell, hunspell and enchant.

Re: spell checker

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Thanks to all of you. Glad that you found the reason. There is a Linux 
day TUEBIX on the 13th of June in Tuebingen, Germany,

http://www.tuebix.org/programm_raumplan/
with quite a number of talks/workshops, and I will present LyX; would 
have been a pity without the spellchecker.

Will follow your advice.

In my opinion we should automatically fill that in (e.g. LyX should
try to find the Hunspell libraries).
See also:

Thanks to all three of you. I am answering to the three messages.
The paths allow to search for the Thesaurus,

Problem with spell checker

[Fabio Fiorelli]

Hello everyone
I'm having a problem with the spell-checker. I'm running a computer with 
CentOS 6.5 installed, and I installed Lyx 2.1. However when I go in the 
settings, the spell-checker option is greyed out and cannot be activated.
The strange thing is that not only a spell-checker was already installed 
(hunspell from LibreOffice), but I also attempted reinstalling after 
updating hunspell to the latest version with all the available 
dictionaries installed.

Anyone else had this problem?
Many thanks

Hi Fabio,

LyX needs to be compiled with spellchecker support enabled (I assume
this requires the devel libraries to link against). If you are
compiling with CMake, try
-DLYX_HUNSPELL=ON -DLYX_ENCHANT=ON
for both Hunspell and Enchant.

Best,

Scott

Hi Fabio,

It was incorrect for me to say that you have to explicitly enable the
spellchecking libraries. My guess now is that you are missing the
development libraries to link against (e.g. on Ubuntu you need
libhunspell-dev installed).

Scott

Hi Fabio, please respond to the list.

Looks like you're using autotools, which I don't know much about (but
which is more common so people on the list will know).
Maybe the problem is you have to specify the path to the hunspell

Hi Jean Marc. There seem to be no additional flags required.

In fact I tested it right now in another virtual machine.
Lyx 2.1.1 installs correctly with access to hunspell without any further

Should I go forward? Thank you for your understanding.

Spell checker: Per document ignore list

[Guy Rutenberg]

Hi,

Is there a way to create a per document list of words to ignore? When
working on a paper in a certain subject there are common related terms
which are labels as typos. Using ignore all is annoying, as it have to be
repeated for every such term each time I re-open the document. Adding the
terms to the global ignore-list is not perfect either, as in other
occasions I would like those terms flagged.

Is there a good way to so?

Thanks,

Guy

Hi Miguel,

What do you have in Tools  Preferences  Language Settings 
Spellchecker? Specifically, is Spellcheck continuously checked? If
not, check it. If it was already checked, then I'm guessing it's a
zooming issue. Try changing the zoom value. Does that help?

Hi Scott,

The Spellcheck continuouslywas enabled but it was, as you pointed
out, a magnifying
problem. I use a 13.3 screen, 1280*800 resolution and I had set up
the magnifying at 140%. It needed to be, in my case, at least at 150%. I
didn't think of this possibility...

 Dear all,

Dear Junchao,

hunspell and LyX are two independent programs. LyX has builtin hunspell support 
or not.

 When I configured Lyx, I could see Lyx found hunspell.

I understand this as: you can see hunspell as available spell checker in 
preferences, right?

   I set 
 export DICPATH=/home/jczhang/usr/share/dict/
 export DICTIONARY=en_US
   in my bashrc
 
   If I invoke hunspell -D, it will give
 AVAILABLE DICTIONARIES (path is not mandatory for -d option):
 /home/jczhang/usr/share/dict//en_US
 /home/jczhang/usr/share/dict//en_AU
 /home/jczhang/usr/share/dict//en_CA
 ...
 LOADED DICTIONARY:
 /home/jczhang/usr/share/dict//en_US.aff
 /home/jczhang/usr/share/dict//en_US.dic
 Hunspell 1.3.2
 
   I choose the spellchecker engine in Lyx as hunspell.  
   However, when I do spellcheck in Lyx, it just pops a window Spell checker 
 has no dictionaries, and no other clues.

LyX does not find the dictionaries in your home directory. 
You have to point it there in LyX path's preferences.
Try to enter /home/jczhang/usr/share/dict and see if it helps.

Stephan

Re: Spell checker has no dictionaries

[Junchao Zhang]

Hi, Stephan,
   I find I just need to put dictionary files under $(HOME)/.lyx/dicts/
  That is, the dictionaries need to be found by LyX, not just hunspell.

Hi Junchao,

yes, that's your user directory. LyX is looking for dictionaries in:
1) preference specified directory
2) user directory + dicts
3) lyx binary directory + dicts
4) /usr/share/myspell/dicts

You don't have to set the DICTIONARY environment.
LyX tries to find the appropriate dictionary matching the language of the text 
inside your document.
That's e.g. en_US if your document language is set to English(US) and/or you 
have the language of some text set to it.

Regards,
Stephan

   That is, the dictionaries need to be found by LyX, not just hunspell.
