 |
|
Hello
I have found a great little spell checker.
It hasn't been updated recently, but, hey-ho!
GNU Aspell
| GNU Aspell's home page wrote: | | GNU Aspell is a Free and Open Source spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell. It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker. Its main feature is that it does a superior job of suggesting possible replacements for a misspelled word than just about any other spell checker out there for the English language. Unlike Ispell, Aspell can also easily check documents in UTF-8 without having to use a special dictionary. Aspell will also do its best to respect the current locale setting. Other advantages over Ispell include support for using multiple dictionaries at once and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once. |
GNU Aspell (Win32 version)
GNU Aspell
Use with this code to spell check any text or word you want:
| Code: | ~Lbutton & S::
~CapsLock & S::
WinGet Id, Id, A
Clipboard=
If GetKeyState("CapsLock","P")
Send {CapsLock Up}{s Up}^c
Else
Send {LButton Up}{s Up}^c
ClipWait 2
TmpFile = %TEMP%\SpellCheckerTmp.txt
FileDelete %TmpFile%
FileAppend %Clipboard%, %TmpFile%
Run aspell.exe check "%TmpFile%"
WinWaitActive ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass
WinWaitClose ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass
FileRead Clipboard, %TmpFile%
WinActivate ahk_id %Id%
WinWaitActive ahk_id %Id%
Send ^v

Mmm, I never could make it work, perhaps I had a wrong Win32 version, or I used the wrong method. I could try again.
I still have these files:
aspell-fr-0.50-3.tar.bz2
Aspell-0-50-3-3-Setup.exe
aspell-0.50.4.1-vc6bin.zip
aspell-0.60.3.exe
Aspell-en-0.50-2-3.exe
aspell-en-0.51-1.tar.bz2
Aspell-fr-0.50-3-3.exe
As you can see, it is a bit confusing.
Ispell is supposed to be better than Aspell, too, at least for non-English languages.

I got it working (WinXP SP2 US-English), but I think I will keep looking. I want something that looks a little less cludgy. The result is displayed in a command prompt window. You have to type the number of the correct word, with no clicking. Feature-wise, it's cool but it's not for me.

Nice that you revive this topic, because I recently discovered Hunspell, a derivative and successor of MySpell, which can use ASpell's dictionaries (which are quite numerous).
FYI, Hunspell seems to have become the official spellchecker of Open Office, via the UNO interface (don't ask me details on the later!  )
I haven't explored the API yet, but it would be interesting to find if it exists in form of DLL and if it can be used from AutoHotkey.
I might explore this someday, but if somebody else want to give a try, he is welcome, as I have other things to do right now...

if anyone is interested there is an example at code project: Spell Checking Edit Control (Using HunSpell) that includes a dll example. |

After I changed the line with "Run" with this:
| Code: | | RunWait "C:\Programme\Aspell\bin\aspell.exe" --lang=en --personal="C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\h\Eigene Dateien\My Dropbox\ref\Aspell\KohDic.txt" check "%TEMP%\SpellCheckerTmp.txt" |
and commented out the next two lines, it works great for me now.
The importanted change is "Run" -> "RunWait"
The whole thing (with Windows+3 as Hotkey) looks like this now:
| Code: | #3:: ; Spellcheck
SoundBeep
WinGet Id, Id, A
Clipboard=
If GetKeyState("CapsLock","P")
Send {CapsLock Up}{3 Up}^c
Else
Send {LButton Up}{3 Up}^c
ClipWait 2
TmpFile = %TEMP%\SpellCheckerTmp.txt
FileDelete %TmpFile%
FileAppend %Clipboard%, %TmpFile%
RunWait "C:\Programme\Aspell\bin\aspell.exe" --lang=en --personal="C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\h\Eigene Dateien\My Dropbox\ref\Aspell\KohDic.txt" check "%TEMP%\SpellCheckerTmp.txt"
;WinWaitActive,Aspell ; ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass
;WinWaitClose,Aspell; ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass
FileRead Clipboard, %TmpFile%
WinActivate ahk_id %Id%
WinWaitActive ahk_id %Id%
Send ^v
