That looks like a good idea to me. We could turn off some rules by default that are very unlikely to return an important true positive. Viewing things from the German point of view, we could probably default many of the capitalization rules to off. My experience as a teacher indicates that hardly anyone has problems with the general rule that nouns have to be uppercased in German. There are many, many difficult cases, but I wouldn't expect (e.g.) the rule that detects "ich mache mir sorgen" as an error to have a high number of matches. Maybe we could run a test on Wikipedia data and disable those rules by default that have virtually no true positives. We could offer something like a "fast" mode and a "thorough" mode in the GUI. – Something that strikes me as counter-intuitive in that approach, however, is that the "fast" mode would overlook the most obvious errors if we take that route. Just brainstorming, never mind: As a general approach, maybe we could ask the users for some kind of self-assessment when they start the application for the first time, like this: Are you - a very bad speller, - a bad speller, - a good speller, etc. For the good spellers, we would do the whole thing, and I think they will accept some delay. --Jan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
