Hello everybody, I have been working on Android spellchecker proof of concept using LanguageTool as backend.
How it works: it is a spell checker service for Android. Every time that you type a text, it sends the text to a remote LanguageTool server over HTTPs, and then provides feedback to the user. It works for on Android 4.4 or higher except for the following manufacturers: - Samsung (they remove the spell checking API). - Hawei (for some reason it cannot be selected) Additionally the spell checker service for Android works for most of the applications (Whatsapp, Telegram, Facebook, EverNote, etc) for not all of them (notably web browsers). For languages like Catalan, that there is no even support for spell checking in out of the box Android keyboard, this is really useful. A small set of users have been using it and we are happy with it. The source code is here: https://github.com/jordimas/CorrectorSoftcatalaAndroid And a binary to download it is here: https://gent.softcatala.org/jmas/CorrectorSoftcatala.apk (you need to allow installing from not official sources) The project currently is aimed to provide this service to the Softcatalà community and focused on the Catalan version of LanguageTool. My question to the LanguageTool community is if there is interest on adopting this project. I will be happy to make the project generic, using LanguageTool name ans servers, and to help to publish it into Google Play. Let me know if you need more details or have any question.
