Spell checking module
Hello, I have a website where users can post messages (using a textarea). I would like to be able to spell-check what they submit and notify them of possible mistakes. (much like the online spell-checker of hotmail that I'm using right now :-)) Has anybody ever written anything for zope that does something similar ? I was thinking of using ispell, maybe through a pipe ? A search on "ispell" or even "spell" on the zope.org website doesn't give any interesting result (same on python.org). Thanks.

Somewhere on the xmlrpc.com site there is reference to a spell checker that can be used via xmlrpc, this could be used in Zope quite easily. http://www.stuffeddog.com/speller/ I think is the place to look.

I do not know about any spell checker either. You could write your own little spell checker quickly in a couple of hours. No problem (would be nice to have :-) ). Just use the DBAdapter/Method principle, where an Adapter links a dictionary (words.txt in Linux for example) and keeps it in memory for performance. You can then write a "Spell Checker" Method or another similar object that connects to this Dictionary object and does the spelling. I do not know much about a possible User Interface, but I guess you have enough examples yourself (i.e: Hotmail).

There is a spellchecker at http://www.zope.org/Members/noa We're currently planning how to implement a new one using the pspell library over at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/zope-spellcheck/ -Morten
