I think that at least the word score and soundslike score should be available. I am not so sure about the scores after each processing step. The reason that I wanted them in the first place was that suggestions for Hindi seemed to get better if I turned off fine_tune_score(). However, at the moment this needs to be tested in more quantitative terms. > I want to be careful about exposing too much of Aspell internals since > they are subject to change. I am in two minds here. I see your point about not arbitrarily opening up everything. However, I would guess that anyone mucking around with testing probably wants to get their hands dirty. Would putting access to aspell internal details in another header file, say aspell_testing.h be an acceptable alternative? People could then be warned that the interface to aspell_testing.h was subject to change. > For example in future versions of Aspell I may add additional scores which > way be used, like a frequency score. I think that a frequency score would be a great idea. We are planning to work on this, through an external filter, after the immediate issues are addressed.
