Misspelled - Chat Spellchecker
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.
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.

Posted Jul 25, 2024In reply to nrpieper: Thanks for the speedy update, it is working perfectly again! However I cant see a settings pane for it and am now starting to wonder if there ever was one? I would assume so given the error. Is there meant to be a setting pane under Options > Addons?

The settings page will return soon. It's where you can choose your dictionary language and edit your personal dictionary.

Posted Jan 3, 2023Hello there.
A long while back I mentioned I had a problem with Misspelled where if I added the euro symbol it would delete the whole phrase. At the time I vaguely remember you or someone in the comments provided a fix which was to modify one of the LUA files which prevented this behaviour from happening again.
It has been a couple of years though and I'm not sure the fix still applies even if I could dig through the comments to find it.
This is an easily replicable bug though: simply type whatever and add € then press space as if continuing to write. Everything will be deleted. This applies to /s, /e, and both kind of whispers.

Posted Mar 28, 2022Hello, first of all thanks for the addon. I think the idea is great. But now I have to ask something.
After installing it, I wrote some test sentences in German.
eg. "Halo wie geht es dir?" There is missing e.g. at " Halo" an L
or instance names misspelled. But I never get a template for it. I can only ignore it or add the word. Am I doing something wrong?
In the settings I set it to German. :(

I've done some investigation and haven't yet found a good way to hook into where Prat creates the message box UI element. Sorry, more work is needed.

The TOC version will probably just need to be updated. I'll work on and update soon. The good news is the proper nouns from the Burning Crusade are included in the English dictionary of correctly spelled words, so they'll show up as suggestions.
