Scott,

Gratuities:
Thanks for this, I really learned a lot from it. I am curious about the "Learn" -- CustomDict.txt -- feature. I found the file CustomDict.txt created in the DemoSpellChecker Folder and created a few "fake" words to have the system learn them. Well it seems to work across openings of the stack.

SpellChecker question:
My question is 'where' is it saving these custom dictionary words? I checked the CustomDict.txt file and it appears empty. I checked for custom properties etc. but to no avail. I did find the WriteCustomDictionary function but can not find where it might be called from?

Revolution question:
Is there a way in rev to find out based on the name of a function where it is called from in a stack across objects/scripts etc.? I tried the find and replace method and I only get the function and not any place it might be called from.


Thanks

Tom

Garrett,
This topic has kept my interest for some time.
Jean-Baptiste LE STANG has written an AppleScript extension < http://www.lestang.org/ > that allows a link to Apple's OSX spell checking engine. It can be used with Revolution to create a spell checker. Obviously it requires OSX (version 10.3 or better, actually) and so will not provide the general solution that the others (and myself) are looking for. I have placed an example solution in the RevOnline User Space under username "Scott" - or from the message box:

 go URL "http://elementarysoftware.com/rev_demos/spellcheck_demo.rev";

I continue working towards a more generalized solution... an attempt at which I have just recently included in a Beta application. My biggest difficulties have been with speed (checking more than 2 pages of text becomes poky) and with returning good phonetic suggestions.

For word banks I am using:
Spell Checking Oriented Word Lists (SCOWL)
by Kevin Atkinson
http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/

For returning phonetic suggestions I am using a variation of Double Metaphone, based on Lawrence Phillips algorithm.

If I ever come up with something solid I'll be sure and notify the list. : )

Greetings,

Has anyone ever found a way to add spell checking ability into resulting rev apps?

Thanks,
