Not only the lexc/hfst-based ones; libvoikko has (experimental) support
for lttoolbox fst's too :) see
http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Spell_checking


Regarding the level of experimentalness,
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/voikko/wiki/libvoikko/SupportedLanguages
says:
 * BLOCKER: Namespace pollution (generic class names in default namespace) 
 * PROBLEM: No proper method for performing analysis on a string argument. 

The BLOCKER sounds like it requires a lot of sedding in lttoolbox, might
require the same replacements in apertium too?

The PROBLEM I'm pretty sure is solved. The method in
http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Lttoolbox_API#Using_as_a_module_from_Python
should work now (at least the known bugs are dealt with).

[Apertium-stuff] From the libvoikko list: Developing spellchecker infrastructure from automata

2012-02-01 Thread Trond Trosterud
Quoting a letter from a collegue of mine, Sjur Moshagen (sjur.mosha...@uit.no).

Since many of the new apertium languages now are built as fst with lexc / hfst, 
a setup like the one referred to below would as a side effect create 
spellcheckers directly from apertium-based automata. People interested can 
contact Sjur (address above).

Hello list members,

The Divvun group at the University of Tromsø is looking for someone that could 
upgrade the VoikkoSpellService code for payment. The upgrade should contain at 
least the following features:

* support for multiple speller languages
* support for the latest version of libvoikko, with support for zhfst files
* support for speller files within user home dirs (~/.voikko/...)
* universal binary (at least 32 and 64 bit, perhaps also PPC)

I have asked both the main developer of Voikko and the developer of the present 
VoikkoSpellService code if they would like to do it, but they have kindly asked 
me to forward the request to the list.

If anyone is interested, please contact me off-list.

Regards,
Sjur Moshagen
