This is a long shot, but I wonder if you can communicate with Apple's system
wide spell checker via Applescript? I have no idea what yo could use for
Windows or Linux. You would have to create a rawKeyUp handler in a field, card
or stack script (or even a frontScript) which would check to see if a space
was entered and then act on the last word typed, or cycle through the words of
the text entered and run them against the spell checker via Applescript.
This is a handler I have that filters the data in a datagrid based upon what is
typed in a Find field:
on rawKeyUp
if the text of me is not empty then
wait .75 seconds with messages -- set the delay to what you want
-- do what you need to do here
else
-- reset whatever you did
exit to top
end if
pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp
You can modify it to do what you want. Instead of working with the text of me,
you could change that to the text of the target, and use the handler in the
card, stack or frontScript. The idea is that the script will not do anything
until the delay you set is exceeded. This makes it a bit more responsive. Your
process will not run every time you type a key.
I have not poked into Applescript to see if you can access the dictionary with
it, but if you are working on an Apple, it's easy to do. If not then the point
is moot.
