Spell Checkers and EMail
We send a good deal of templated based E-Mail with the option to edit right before sending. The editing is done via webpage running under mod_perl/Apache or PerlEx/IIS with Oracle and MSSQL backends respectively. Anyone know of any good modules to add a spellchecker ability to this edit screen or possibly the one on the next page (submit button) ? Thanks for the advice. -- END -- Philip M.

Re: Spell Checkers and EMail
Hello Philip I just digged my way through Ispell a great spell checking module with libraries for many languages: http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell.html See the my latest contribution on this topic in the Mason thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=masonm=104657497230694w=2 I used it to spell check text before saving it. Offering a spell interface incl. suggestion and personal dictionary. Regards Christian == beginn original == Date: Donnerstag, 6.

Re: Spell Checkers and EMail
Also have a look as 'aspell', which I found to have a more extensive dictionary and thus suggestions for words. I also discovered that sending stdin to it from a perl script can be quite slow (e.g. an email that has several replies), however there's a perl module interface that I also discovered on CPAN -- haven't implemented it yet, too busy. http://savannah.gnu.org/download/ aspell can be substituted for ispell (same call options), so you might as well evaluate them both. -doug On Thursday 06 March 2003 06:08 am, Christian Hauser wrote: Hello Philip I just digged my way through Ispell a great spell checking module with libraries for many languages: http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell.html See the my latest contribution on this topic in the Mason thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=masonm=104657497230694w=2 I used it to spell check text before saving it.

If this is for an internal application where you have control over what browsers people use, there are several browser plug-ins and Java applets that provide in-line spell-checking on form inputs. - Perrin

I can easily parse out the text with HTML::Parser, and build a list of incorrectly spelled words, open in another window and show the words and a list for suggestions or a text field. I have not figured out how best to update the existing form inplace, though. I fear javascript is in my future. I helped implement a spell-checking system for a customer that was pure mod_perl. In the end, though, a fairly sharp JavaScripter helped make my somewhat-kludgy solution fairly elegant by popping up a window, calling my stuff to replace misspelled words, then resetting the original text with what was left in the pop-up when done checking (or the user aborted). It wasn't that bad, but I'm glad I didn't have to write the JavaScript. ky
