What: Hunspelltcl
Where: http://www.esperantilo.org/xotclhunspell1.0.tar.gz Author: [Artur Trzewik] Licence: LGPL (compatible with Hunspell) Description: It is XOTcl binary extension to hunspell spellchecker (http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/) Binaries: You can extract them for Linux (intel) and Windows with [SDX] tool from http://www.esperantilo.org/esperantilo.kit
Hunspelltcl is XOTcl binary extension. So it requires XOTcl. The interface to it is normall XOTcl class. I decided to use XOTcl-API because it allows very compact wrapping of Hunspell C++ Classes. XOTcl offers also handling for so called object handles, which is quite complex task with Tcl C-API.
Hunspelltcl was implemented for needs of program Esperantilo
Hunspell is currently used by OppenOffice project and is also compatible to older MySpell. There are plenty of dictionaries in http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries . Currently also Thunderbird and Firefox uses this directories.
Short Example:
package require XOTcl
package require xotcl::hunspell
namespace import xotcl::*
set checker [Hunspell new]
# place with your dictioneries
set dic {/home/artur/dictionaries}
# setting dictionaries
$checker open [file join $dic eo-EO.aff] [file join $dic eo-EO.dic]
# obtaining dic encoding
puts "dic encoding [$checker getDicEncoding]"
# setting api encoding translation (default is [encoding system])
$checker encoding iso8859-3
# alternative
$checker encoding [string tolower [$checker getDicEncoding]]
# Spell checking of esperanto word faras (english: "do")
puts "faras [$checker spell faras]"
# Mispelled word
puts "farras [$checker spell farras]"
# Obtaning suggestions
puts [join [$checker suggest farras] ,]
# Adding words
