Better proofing of documents or allow adding words to dictionaries

Open robjens opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

I can imagine this is definitely not top priority (and so close if you will) and I can only currently speak of the Dutch spelling check but trust me when I say that it is very, very bad. The quality is so poor that it makes me want to change back to Word just for the spelling grief it keeps giving me.

One option which could at least in part counter the poor quality of the spelling check, is to allow for a right-click "Add to dictionary" option.

Another, perhaps more interesting option, would be the integration of https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool (which is also a Java project) as it does much more than just spell check words. Then again, I am not really sure how compatible their LGPL license is with Apache.

Also a full replacement might be a bit of an overkill, hitting a mosquito with a canon but I was so impressed by the quality of languagetool that I just had to mention it. Being able to add words to the (Hunspell) dictionary from the UI would be a "good enough" improvement for most people, or so I recon. I guess for now, I will just edit the .dict file.

@robjens AsciidocFX uses the same way with languagetool. Did you try to update dict file?

I know this issue is quite old, but what do you mean by "the same way with languagetool"? Anyhow I am also interested in using languagetool as hunspell handles German compound words very poorly.
