Spell checking

Open Julow opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

This adds dictionary-based spell checking to the keyboard. The keyboard looks at the word being typed and matches it against a dictionary to either complete the rest of the word or find alternative spellings.

The core of this feature is implemented in cdict, a project that I developed for this purpose. The dictionaries are hosted in this repository and can be downloaded from within the app. The wordlists used to build the dictionaries are the same ones used by HeliBoard (from this repository).

This is still a work in progress. I plan to improve the interface and add more features:

  • Phonetic-based spell checking
  • Custom dictionary
  • Emoji lookup
  • More customisation

This work was fully funded by the NLnet foundation. I would like to thanks them for giving me the time required to work on this feature.

Closes https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/issues/343 https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/issues/716 https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/issues/745 https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/issues/596 https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard/issues/571

This is the most requested feature and I hope it will be enjoyed. I'm eager to receive feedback from anyone willing to test this new feature.
