Aloha, Derek...

Any news on your spellchecker?

I need a cross-platform one that does the following:

1) uses some standard English dictionary-word list (if you can hack and parse the one from OSX Tiger... it's very good.)

2) has a "special" dictionary that is "locked" i.e. the user cannot add words to it.

Context: I've got about 20 people in remote locations working on documents which are uploaded to our server here. There is no spell checking now. They cut and paste the text out to MSword and paste back, in [nasty! I get strange chars introduced from this operation...]

But we have a lot of foreign, Sanskrit, Tamil, "proprietary" (company names place names etc) words that need to be added to a "Special Dictionary"

The spellchecker wants to be able to propose a list (a simple algorithm will do.. even a list of words starting with the same first letter..) that is drawn from both the standard dictionary and the user dictionary.

The user dictionary gets updated on line. (I can do all this part) if the version number changes when someone goes to work, my Rev app alerts them to download a new user dictionary... if they want to add words to that dictionary, they have to email me suggestions.. (I can't have 20 different people adding words locally... needs to be a central list...)

Before I start working on this... I looked on the list and see you have plans already in motion...

Thanks!

Is there any chance you could share this with the rest of us. To be able to add a spell checker to Rev would be quite fantastic given my spelling and typing dyslexia ;-)


I'm working hard on completing the Spell Checker Plugin. I wanted to have something by this morning, but work was busy last night so I didn't have a lot of free time (I'm in law enforcement).

Rest assured though, I will put it up for everyone to download...the question then is do I charge a fee? :) (just kidding about the fee)
