Hi Sascha,
The checking capabilities of wmtrans have been incorporated in
different editors and applications. As far as I know not in ULC
applications.
Their use and integration in Java code is fairly simple and is
described here (http://www.canoo.com/wmtrans/developerzone/
recJavaAPI.html), at least for what it concerns a simple recognizer
(yes/no answer):
What you need is to decide:
1. The way you show an error
2. The way you expect the interaction
For (1) I imagine you have already your own text format (you say you
have a component which allow users to edit and format text), so what
you need is to filter the recognizer answer, so that you can format
your text according to the analysis result and show it in a way your
component allows you.
For (2), depending on the expected interaction way, you have
different integrations opportunities in ULC.
a) If you expect the text check to be performed when the user
explicitly asks for it (say, with a button click), then the
integration can be performed completely server side. The button
action will trigger a complete text check, and your program will
change the text format, according to the spelling checker results.
b) If you expect a single word to be checked as soon as the user has
completed typing it, you can still perform the integration server
side, but you need to realize an extension client-side that limit the
round-trip only after a whole word has been typed (say, after a blank
or whatever space character). Performing the check for the blank
using the IKeyListener would generate traffic because for each
character typed there will be a round-trip.
c) If you expect the check to be performed after each character,
calling the spelling checker also for partial words (during the
typing), you definitely need to integrate the spelling checker client
side. Integrating it client side would also work for option (b), but
there it is not necessary, if you can limit the roundtrips, as
explained before.
I hope this helps.
Best regards
Sandro

Hi all,
our application features a component which allows users to edit and
format text. Recently the requirement has arisen, that they would
like to check their spelling as well. Therefore my question is: did
anybody on the list add a spell checker to a ULC app before?
I believe, it should be possible to use wmtrans (or some part of
it), which among other purposes can be used for spell checking. How
should we go about it, if we wanted to incorporate the spell
checking capabilities of wmtrans in our application?
Have there been any considerations at Canoo of integrating ULC with
text editing and styling and some word analysis capabilities?
