Hunspell

Hunspell is a spell checker and morphological analyzer designed for languages with rich morphology and complex word compounding or character encoding, originally designed for the Hungarian language.

Hunspell is based on MySpell and is backward-compatible with MySpell dictionaries. While MySpell uses 8-bit ASCII character encoding, Hunspell can use Unicode UTF-8-encoded dictionaries.

Hunspell is the spell checker of:
  • OpenOffice.org, a cross-platform office suite (starting with version 2.0.2 March 8, 2006)
  • Mozilla products Thunderbird / Firefox (starting with version 3) and SeaMonkey (starting with version 2)
  • WinShell, an integrated development environment (IDE) for TeX / LaTeX on Windows
  • Yudit, a Unicode text editor for the X Window System
  • Google Chrome, an open source web browser developed by Google.
  • Moreover, Hunspell is supported by Enchant.
Hunspell is free software, distributed under the terms of a GPL/LGPL/MPL tri-license.
Here is the release note of the Hunspell

Online Spellchecker

I am starting making an online spell checker.

Here I am mentioning some of the links having that functionality.

http://www.j3e.de/cgi-bin/spellchecker

Above link is using hunspell, ispell, aspell etc. algorithms for spell checking in various languages.

Hunspell is described technically well in the below link, informative to read.

http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=29374&group_id=143754#NAME

Concluding above links and wikipedia, to make online spellchecker I will need to work hard for wordlist as that is essence of the project. There has to develop logic for Gujarati grammar rules(only those that can catch only wrong spellings.)

After comparing all spell checking material I am biased to hunspell, obviously it is having more features. But I haven't searched for pitfalls.

JSP as scripting language.

I am peeping in all websites to get better ideas.

Once upon a time I thought like this...

Just close the eyes and try to feel colors and patterns can be seen anticipating eternal peace. I have felt them differently with my changing mood, age and emotion.

Thinking deep in that takes me to heavens. I am dreaming what I want to. And suddenly what came... Everything pure, pure like the soul without body, no biasing no mal wishes no annoyances, everything fair and calm, where true sentiments for everyone live. They are mixed with each other, and together make a band that plays a world class chorus. There's sweetness when a child starts smiling and reach upon a laugh.

There is neither thirst nor a hunger. People are still living, and keep on living with their individual motto. And that is not just to run their family or earning few bucks. They want their own contribution to make world more beautiful, inert happiness in everyone's hearts. They are satisfied with what they are getting and gaining but curious to go out and give hands to support an old lady trying to walk till her religion home. They want every other to live the life fullest and give them chance to have their words.

Oh there's lovely mild rhythm saying I love you all. I'm made for you all. N I'm ready to dance on this world's dance floor to share myself in human dignity. C'mon give your hands; we all together make this wonderful peace all over the world.
