Hi,
Here is a Basic example:
Dim aLocale As New com.sun.star.lang.Locale
Dim emptyArgs(0) As New com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
aLocale.Language = "en"
aLocale.Country = "US"
aLocale.Variant = ""
Dim vSpeller As Variant
vSpeller = createUnoService("com.sun.star.linguistic2.SpellChecker")
hasXMLAPI = "<?xml?>"
query = "<?xml?><query type='analyze'><word>mice</word></query>"
if (vSpeller.isValid(hasXMLAPI, aLocale, emptyArgs())) then
vReturn = vSpeller.spell(query, aLocale, emptyArgs())
if (not IsNull(vReturn)) then
if (vReturn.getAlternativesCount() > 0) then
s = vReturn.getAlternatives()
MsgBox "Result: " & s(0)
end if
end if
end if
The result of the analysis of the word "mice" is "<code><a> st:mouse
ts:Ns</a></code>" (stem: mouse, affix:Ns, POS information (po: fields)
is missing from the recent en-US dictionary, but you can add this and
arbitrary fields to the morphological description).
It seems, dictionary variant may be good for the development (adding a
Variant string to the Locale parameter of the isValid/spell,
OpenOffice.org doesn't use the base en-US dictionary).
By the way, next version of the (language-neutral) Lightproof grammar
checker extension will use Hunspell for morphological analysis, too.
Regard,
László
