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.

So, during the first stress test for Classic WoW this addon didn't seem to be working. Are there any plans for this to be compatible with Classic WoW?

I've released a version ready to test with WoW Classic. I don't currently have a game subscription so I'm not able to test the changes. Can you please give it at try and report back if you have success or any issues?

Thanks

I was able to move the source code repository to Github: https://github.com/nrpieper/wow-misspelled, and got the latest update packaged and deployed.

Give it a try now! I have the suspicion some changes related to in-combat chat could require further updates.\

If you run into any issues, please report them.

Thanks!

I have fixed the suggestion popup issue and dictionary editor errors.

I'm having difficulty updating the WowAce SVN repository due to the Twitch account change.

Hopefully moving things to Github will solve the issue.

Hold tight, and cross your fingers.

Hi there, is this addon still being updated? The newest patch broke this (among other things). Oddly the dictionary still works, but the ability to right-click on a misspelled word then select a suggestion to replace it is gone.

If this isn't updated, thanks for all the hard work so far. This is a great addon.

I've made the needed updates to fix the suggestion selection issue and corrected an error on the dictionary editor UI.

Hopefully things will work well with patch 8.1

Having your same problem with this. The addon appears and detects incorrect spellings, but when you go and select the correct word from the list they are all greyed out and I can't click them.

As a foreign player on US servers this was a life saver for me, please come back to us Author!

Looking at recent changes WIM added, they've now got some exclusions for when a player is detected in combat. I'll see if I can add the same to Misspelled.

Thanks for keeping us up to date! I was worried this addon was dead in the water since it helps me out so much!

After some work I finally got access to my required linked Twitch account. I wanted to let you know I've seen the recent posts and I will work to update the add-on shortly. I've recently just moved. Fingers crossed I'll get to working on this shortly.

Thanks,

Nathan

~~Sadly, this addon seems broken.~~

This one is one of my favorites.

Hoping for an update soon.

*Edit*

The Addon is now working fine. The issue was likely on my end.

Please double check for addon conflicts etc..before disabling.

I wasn't actually getting any errors. it simply wasn't working at all so I disabled it thinking it had been broken in the pre-patch like so many others.

However. Thanks to your comment, I enabled the addon to check for any errors but oddly enough it seems to be working perfectly fine now after trying several 'misspells' in-game.

Perhaps it was conflicting with one of my other addons?

Thank you for making me take a second look! =)
