Misspelled - Chat Spellchecker

Table of Contents

Misspelled is a chat spell-checker addon. Misspelled watches the chat messages you type, highlighting any misspellings and offering suggestions for any misspelled words it finds.

Misspelled Screen Shot

I've included in the US & UK English dictionaries some Warcraft specific proper nouns, including the zone names, and all dungeon and raid boss names. Your friends and guild members are also automatically added, and shouldn't get flagged as misspelled words..Misspelled utilizes the HunSpell style, affix (prefix/suffix) compressed dictionaries. The same ones used in Chrome, Firefox, and OpenOffice. Misspelled provides suggestions based on words that phonetically sound like the misspelled word, along with providing suggestions based on common mistakes of spelling. While Misspelled can detect nearly the same number of individually correctly spelled words as OpenOffice, it's suggestion engine, is "somewhat" less complicated, than the HunSpell implementation.

Misspelled includes dictionaries for US-English, UK-English, French, German, Italian, Russian (experimental), and Spanish. The appropriate dictionary, for your game client locale, will auto-load, or you can manually choose what dictionary to use from Misspelled's Interface/Addons options page.

I'm attempting to localize the menus and configuration page. You can help by visiting: http://www.wowace.com/addons/misspelled/localization

Misspelled works with WIM (Wow Instant Messenger), and is compatible with: Prat, Skinner, and Chatter.

Usage note: Spell Checking is performed as you complete each word you've typed. The last word in the chat box, isn't spell checked until you type some form of word terminator, either a period, space, or some other word separating punctuation. Spell checking is very fast; but isn't performed needlessly, while a word is being typed.

Misspelled is compatible with Wow, Wow Classic/Wrath/Cata If you are having problems with Misspelled, please try updating or disabling all other chat addons you may be running.

My parser isn't, yet, that sophisticated. I included the ' character as part of the word, so I can pickup misspelled words that contain them. Example: they'er

I'll have to see what I can do to improve the word boundary search algorithm.

Also, how do I edit my own dictionary? Your Great Britain dictionary is seriously lacking ANY proper English spelling.

Something is messed up with your Misspelled saved variables.
Try:
/console Misspelled_DB = {}
/reload
Then re-choose the enGB dictionary.

From the games Options menu, click Interface. Select the Addons tab, and select Misspelled. You'll see the dictionary options listed on the right. Unselect "Auto choose dictionary" and select the enGB dictionary. Click OK to close the Interface Options windows, then reload your game client with /reload.

There is nothing you need to do. Integration with Win is automatic. Please check that you are running both the latest Win, and Misspelled versions. Running an outdated version of Win is probably causing your problem.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

No option in Wim or Misspelled should cause it to stop working. If Misspelled detects Wim is installed, it hooks right in.

My next best guess, is some other addon is getting in the way. Are you running any other chat addons? Just for a test, try disabling everything except Wim and Misspelled. If they then work together, something else is the cause. Next re-enable a few addons at a time, until you find the culprit.

There may be some kind of bad interaction going on between Misspelled and some other addon you are using. Try zoning in with just Misspelled loaded, and see if that works. Then you can start enabling more and more addons, until Misspelled breaks. That'll help you pin down the culprit.

Report back any additional information you find, or if you have any questions.

Best I can tell, the US client doesn't support entering Cyrillic characters, so I need a bit of help testing my implementation.

Is there anyone running the European or Russian World of Warcraft clients, that would be interested in assisting with some testing?

If you're interested, please send me a message.

Thanks

I finally got around to converting the Russian OpenOffice dictionary to UTF8 encoding, from the "crazy" KOI8-R 8-bit encoding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOI8-R) it was stored in. I'll work to add the Russian dictionary, over the next few days. Hopefully I can get someone out there to help me test it. :)
