I'm intrigued yet confused - don't all target platforms have native
spell-checkers? Why can't these be accessed?
Well, it's news to me.
I work mainly with Linux, and decreasingly so with Mac PPC [it's a money
thing . . . :) ] and I don't think the operating systems
as such have in-built spell checkers.
Certainly Appleworks and LibreOffice lever their own spell checkers.
I am writing this in Thunderbird (an e-mail client) and, as far as I am
aware it is using its own in-built checker.
Here's a spot of reading that seems to bear me out:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Using%20the%20spell%20checker
http://iwannafile.com/view/757738/helpsmith_v3_3_build_10_1021
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spell_checker "On the PCs, these spell
checkers were standalone programs, many of which could be run in TSR
mode from within word-processing packages on PCs with sufficient memory."
TSR came before multitasking. Presumably, nowadays, one can bundle an
open-source spell checker with one's Livecode standalone, and, IFF, one
can get the blasted thing to interact with one's Livecode stack one is
"laughing". HOWEVER, that's all beyond me; so, having chucked the wooden
spoon into the pot, I'll leave more knowledgeable people to stir the soup.
Best,
Keith..

Spilling Chuckers . . . Hmm
This is rather interesting: http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html
as is this : http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/
I wonder how feasible (and how fast) an in-built spell-checker would be . . .
certainly SCOWL 7.1 looks rather attractive.
