Hello Alexey, DEH>> Please provide more information about the Common Spelling API
Tried to google (https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/262605) and found out that it's called Common Spell_er_ API and MS Office 2000 was the _first_ MS Office to implement it (sorry for that mistake). But since MS uses it there are many chances that there are many programs using it. DEH>> and where its specification can be found. https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/262605 : "To facilitate development of a new engine and lexicon, Microsoft has made the CSAPI specification available.". "Developers who are interested in implementing a CSAPI spell check engine and lexicon, or only an add-in lexicon, can contact Microsoft Developer Support.". https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/234322 : "Microsoft Office Developer Support Web Site http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=supportcontent.asp?ID=FH;EN-US;ofd Microsoft Developer Network http://msdn.microsoft.com/ " "Developers who want to add spell checking to their custom application can contact one of the following vendors to obtain a spell check engine and development license: Wintertree Software Sentry and WSpell Spelling Checkers http://wintertree-software.com ComponentOne VSSPELL (formerly VideoSoft VSSPELL) http://www.componentone.com/ BeCubed AZSpell (formerly HighSpell) http://www.becubed.com " The three links don't seem to be much of use. AZ> No information on that. Of course MS must have them but it's unlikely AZ> they would help their competitor. They seem to make the specification publicly available. DEH>> Finally, is the API one that many providers offer AZ> Since it's MS's API its unlikely somebody else uses it. There seem to be companies that provide their own spell checking engines. >>> Can Common Spelling API (which was in MS Office up to version 2000 as >>> far as I know) be implemented in AOO on Windows. -- Best regards, Alexey Zhuravliov mailto:[email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
