Re: [dev] spell check in openoffice

Hi,

...

I am a student at Goldsmiths College, University of London (UK), and I
am going to be extremely cheeky by asking for your opinion on data
structures: It would be much appreciated if you could describe to me
the data structure implemented in the OpenOffice.org for
spellchecking, and it would be nice to know of any misgivings you have
with the current implementation.

If it happens that I can contribute to OpenOffice.org, I would gladly
do so, but that would be a secondary objective.

I look forward to reading your reply,


The API fpr the linguistic can be found at

I've done some research on OOo spellchecking myself the other day.
First, the most relevant homepage is this:
http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/
OpenOffice.org uses `myspell' currently for spellchecking. Myspell
is an enhancement of aspell (iirc) with ispell-compatibility.
It adds some affix files for better support for compound words, if
I understand correctly.
Nevertheless, it'll be replaced by the new `hunspell' spell checker,
which itself is based on myspell.
You can check out the hunspell project at
http://hunspell.sf.net

I'm using a slightly modified version of hunspell to access OOo's
spell checking wordbooks and dictionaries in my application.

For me, hunspell was very slow...
That's about all I have to say. :)

Bye,
   Daniel
