| 1 MySpell is a simple spell checker that uses affix | |
| 2 compression and is modelled after the spell checker | |
| 3 ispell. | |
| 4 | |
| 5 MySpell was written to explore how affix compression | |
| 6 can be implemented. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 The Main features of MySpell are: | |
| 9 | |
| 10 1. written in C++ to make it easier to interface with | |
| 11 Pspell, OpenOffice, AbiWord, etc | |
| 12 | |
| 13 2. it is stateless, uses no static variables and | |
| 14 should be completely reentrant with almost no | |
| 15 ifdefs | |
| 16 | |
| 17 3. it tries to be as compatible with ispell to | |
| 18 the extent it can. It can read slightly modified | |
| 19 versions of munched ispell dictionaries (and it | |
| 20 comes with a munched english wordlist borrowed from | |
| 21 Kevin Atkinson's excellent Aspell. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 4. it uses a heavily modified aff file format that | |
| 24 can be derived from ispell aff files but uses | |
| 25 the iso-8859-X character sets only | |
| 26 | |
| 27 5. it is simple with *lots* of comments that | |
| 28 describes how the affixes are stored | |
| 29 and tested for (based on the approach used by | |
| 30 ispell). | |
| 31 | |
| 32 6. it supports improved suggestions with replacement | |
| 33 tables and ngram-scoring based mechanisms in addition | |
| 34 to the main suggestion mechanisms | |
| 35 | |
| 36 7. like ispell it has a BSD license (and no | |
| 37 advertising clause) | |
| 38 | |
| 39 But ... it has *no* support for adding words | |
| 40 to a personal dictionary, *no* support for converting | |
| 41 between various text encodings, and *no* command line | |
| 42 interface (it is purely meant to be a library). | |
| 43 | |
| 44 It can not (in any way) replace all of the functionality | |
| 45 of ispell or aspell/pspell. It is meant as a learning | |
| 46 tool for understanding affix compression and for | |
| 47 being used by front ends like OpenOffice, Abiword, etc. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 MySpell has been tested under Linux and Solaris | |
| 50 and has the world's simplest Makefile and no | |
| 51 configure support. | |
| 52 | |
| 53 It does come with a simple example program that | |
| 54 spell checks some words and returns suggestions. | |
| 55 | |
| 56 To build a static library and an example | |
| 57 program under Linux simply type: | |
| 58 | |
| 59 tar -zxvf myspell.tar.gz | |
| 60 cd myspell2 | |
| 61 make | |
| 62 | |
| 63 To run the example program: | |
| 64 ./example ./en_US.aff ./en_US.dic checkme.lst | |
| 65 | |
| 66 Please play around with it and let me know | |
| 67 what you think. | |
| 68 | |
| 69 Please see the file CONTRIBUTORS for more info. | |
