I'll also check for the dictionary.txt by looking at the exe path rather than the working directory. It probably passes the epub path as a first argument in the command line, I'll add that. I do like the American/British English dictionary supplied - I prefer British English but a lot of the books I work on have been Americanised. This is not a complaint as I'm trying to make it work in a way not intended but I would probably use it more if it could be launched in this way. It also ignores the current epub file and opens with no file loaded. This looks very useful - I tried to launch it from within Calibre (using the 'Open With' add-on) but it seems to complain about the lack of a dictionary (no complaints when opening it normally). Don't think you need that to accentuate the misspelling if you already bold the word. Also there seems to be some extra useless space inserted before the bolded misspelling.

Would be cool if it could show the rendered version instead of the html code itself. Suggestion: Extend the Options filter to include all types of possible errors so that you can filter on each category separately instead of on 'Show only errors & warnings' (and also of course have the 'Copy all suggestions. Yours does offer more information in that it tries to categorize the type of spelling errors AND more importantly it shows the context. So in the end you are still spending the same amount of time.

If using the Spellcheck button you get like in ePub spellchecker, a list with deemed misspellings plus frequency counts and similarly like in ePub, you can have all occurrences replaced at once but not for every 'misspelling' at once, which may be a bit too aggressive because you always will need to revise the list to make sure it only replaces true misspellings. It may have not had this when you started ePub checker, but the current Sigil build has a similar approach option as yours. I have not yet looked too deep but I assume there is some kind of exception list someplace so that not everything containing hyphens is flagged as such.ĮDIT: PS. AND gave the same word as suggested replacement.Īlso, about the unneeded hyphens, not being a native English speaker I would need to study up on when and where they are normally used but I am almost sure there are words requiring them.

'Harris, in moving about, trod on George’s corn.'Įpub spellchecker actually read the corn as 'com' and also flagged it as such. Jerome, and there is a sentence in the ePub going as follows: I was trying it out on 'Three Men in a Boat' from Jerome K. I also found, by accident, that it seems to suffer from OCR blindness itself too. Not every h is always the result of an OCR errored 'b' nor vice-versa, same for the 'l' and 'f' versus 't'. I have totally no idea if this is possible but I think you could reduce this a lot by looking at the context the word was used in. It deemed a lot of perfectly valid spelled words a 'Possible OCR error'. I like the initiative but I think there is still room for improvement. If the spell checker 'knew' that, it could make more meaningful suggestions.Īnd finally, it'd be nice if the text displayed in the KWIC window could be copied to the clipboard. For example, in the document that I'm working on 'll' was often incorrectly recognized as 'U'. It'd also be nice to have an option to add document/font specific suggestions. Maybe you could add an additional check to your algorithm that will try to find the word without the final s in the dictionary, before flagging it as an error.

Also the software often thought that uncommon plural forms ending in s where errors. For example, in my pdf, the Unneeded hyphen warning was 99% of the time wrong and I'd like to be able to hide those suggestions. I'd be nice if you could make the types of warnings/errors being displayed user-selectable. I gave it a spin yesterday and found the concept quite interesting, because none of the spell checkers that I know uses word frequencies to suggest spelling alternatives.
