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.

How do you get Misspelled to work in WIM?

There is nothing you need to configure in either WIM or Misspelled. Version r35 and later, auto-detects if WIM is installed and integrates automatically.

In WIM whisper chat boxes, you should see misspelled words highlighted just like they are on the default chat box.

Make sure your using the latest version of WIM and Misspelled.

If you still have difficulty, there could be some other addon causing the integration to fail. As a test, try disabling all addons except WIM and Missplleed. Test and see if the integration works.

Misspelled now integrates with WIM (Wow Instant Messenger), providing interactive spell-checking in WIM chat windows. Also now includes a French spell-checking dictionary.

just updated tonight without reading about the WIM integration, every time i sent out a whisper (using WIM) i would get DCed. after an hour i thought it might be a mod and not my connection. disabled the only three which ware updated, worked fine, narrowed it down to this, then came here and read the above post. so that's my experience =D btw WIM integration would be awesome, hope it works soon

can you add in common misspellings for instance names? They seem to be missing.

All the zone names, instance names, and Wotlk instance boss names I've added, are in the Dict\Dict_enUS.lua file starting at line 3038.

I only added proper nouns or the parts of proper nouns where the words wern't in the US English dictionary.

I didn't add any suffix information for the words I added. So words like "Razorscale's breath" may show up as misspelled, due to the missing suffix.

Let me know what you feel is missing and I'll be happy to add the additional words.

Thanks.

Is there a chance that this could work inside WIM? Or perhaps I just don't misspell anything when I use WIM. <laughs>

Either way, thank you so much for this addon.

Misspelled doesn't support spell-checking WIM chat windows quite yet. It's #1 on my list to implement, along with adding spell-checking to the send mail dialog.

Preliminary testing shows Misspelled is compatible with the current 3.2 PTR client. Just enable loading out of date addons.

I'll keep testing and make sure I've got a release ready when v3.2 goes live.

I don't think I've commented here before, so I will now. Thank you very much for this awesome addon. I am a horrible speller, and it's helped me produce somewhat-readable sentences ever since I started using it.

Do you think it would be possible to have a user-defined list of words to replace? Like replacing "teh" with "the"? I don't know if that would be possible, but if it is, that would be awesome.

Thanks for the feedback. I've never been all that great of a speller. Misspelled was born out of my own need to feel more confident, with my spelling, when chatting to fellow guild members.

Now onto the topic of auto-corrections.

The string ‘teh’ is starting to haunt me, more and more. :)

It would be rather simple to add code to "always" apply auto-corrections. Issues arise with scenarios when the auto-correction isn't appropriate and shouldn't be auto-applied. Example: pasting in a URL. To lower the chance of applying a bad auto-correction you really need some form of sentence context, to make sure your applying the auto-correction only when it makes sense. Secondly you need a way to allow the user to unto a misapplied auto-correction. An example of this can be seen in MS Word: Try typing the word 'teh' into MS Word 2007, it should auto-correct to 'the'. Then backspace over the 'he' and retype 'eh'. Word no longer applies the auto-correction, and simply flags the word as misspelled.

The cpu cycles needed to come up with a confidence factor for apply an auto-correction, based on context, may exceed what can practically be done in an addon. Investigating the work done by the OpenOffice grammar checker extension, LanguangeTool http://www.languagetool.org/, is on my list.

There may be some middle ground here. Bottom line, the feature is bubbling away in my head. I just haven’t come up with a elegant and efficient way to implement a solution.

First off, thank you for responding to my comment.

It's good to know you're thinking of it, and it would require a bit of fine-tuning to be effective, but hopefully the feature will find it's way into the addon at some point.

But as for the problem with copying and pasting links, and please do forgive my ignorance of things here as I haven't the slightest clue about LUA, couldn't you count words beginning with "http://" or "www." as immune to the auto-replacement feature and for those who don't include either of those words ending in ".com", ".net", and the like? Just kinda shooting blindly there.

Anyway, thank you for responding, thank you for putting your time into such a wonderful addon, and have a good day! :)

Yes it should. I've tested previous versions with Chatter, Linkerator, Prat and Skinner. Make sure your using the latest version of Chatter. Older versions had a known problem with Misspelled.

I'll download the latest Chatter and give it another test.
