Daniel forwarded this to me. I'm sending it to the list. Hi,
I'm not sure what's the current situation wrt grammar checking in OOo, but I guess there's no grammar checker included yet. I've written a simple Open source grammar checker for English as an university project. The first version can be downloaded here: http://www.danielnaber.de/languagetool/ I'm currently re-writing it in Pyhton, so please don't care about the ugly Perl code. I don't claim that this is powerful -- but it's not vaporware either, and it's extensible. It has some nice extra features like warning a non-native speaker when he uses a false friend (a misleading word). It's not OOo related but a standalone program with a KOffice GUI frontend (optional). The paper that describes it is in German only, sorry. The reason I'm mailing you is just to let you know such a thing exists and it will be improved. There's not much point in trying to integrate this into OOo - yet. Feel free to forward this to other people who might be interested (and who might even be able to read my German paper about it). Regards Daniel -- http://www.danielnaber.de
