SpellCheck + upgrade

[felinex]

Hi
I try to use SpellCheck.
The extra_example inside example dir request the extension scrollbar.mfx
Where can I find this extension?

http://www.clickteam.info/extensions/extview.php?id=162 - it is MMF 1.x only so you have to put it in your \extensions\mmf1\ folder then remove the object from your app (e.g. replace with EasyScrollbar).

tanks :-)
Now I asked to original discussion if there is a newer version of this extension.

[aidmm]

you could probably use the Dictionary extension to make it happen for you.

[felinex]

tanks for suggestion :-)
Now I try to integrate spellcheck ext with dictionary ext and the program that I have uploaded recently:
damerau levenshtein distance.
If you have some suggestions to improve performance or make a right integration...

Hello,

I plan to update the spellcheck extension. It is a direct conversion from the MMF1.5 version and could do with some new features I think.

However, I am interested to know which new features you'd like. If you (or anybody else) has some suggestions could you reply here or PM me?

Thanks,
- Jack

Hello Jax
This is a good news! :-)

1) I think that a fuzzy checking control type would be interesting.
2) Perhaps even integrate internally damerau levenshtein distance.
3) And what do you think about power access multiple dictionaries with a different order of priorities for the control of words?
4) And if we could somehow activate the feature for automatic translation?
5) Multilingual support?
6) TTS integration?
7) autocorrection?
8) multiple file checking and correction?
9) correction by rule?
10) Functions for the words accented:
perche' -> perché
11) number to word:
1 2 -> One two | uno due [in multilingual modality]
12) Control of punctuation:
home,, -> home,
?!!???! -> !?
and so on... :-)

If I get some other ideas do you know.
bye

13) Number of differences between two files
14) extracting error in separate file
15) exclude or include for checking Words with capital letters
16) checking for Words moved inside the sentence:
home my -> my home

:-)

Some of these sound good! Any chance you could explain 1, 4 and 16 in more detail?

5 has got to be the big one (and 3 is a good idea for it too). The support for special characters is non-existant at the moment. Also, in some languages the letter sound different so we'll have to deal with that.

Actually 2 is there! I don't have MMF installed right now but if I did I could check is. Is there an expression to see how similar two strings are which is documented as "You don't need to know what this does" or something? You cannot change the cost matrix though (although that will be a future feature).

Has anybody got automatic underlining or whatever working properly with the Rich Text Object? That seems to be one of the big problems with the object right now: You can't visually use it so easily.

17) regex integration for automatic correction
18) correction in backroud activity:
I type and the system correct in real time (!) if activated
19) statistical information about correction
20) mark the word before or after correction (!) if activated
