(The examples are from English but the real need comes from other languages.) Asking here about aspell particularly, of course. First, if necessary, allow the dictionary to contain words with apostrophe "'" and hyphen "-" in any position. (I am aware of the side-effects of this and am not worried by them.) Now, when checking text: 1. Accept a word containing a hyphen if EITHER the dictionary contains the whole word including the hyphen ("hotch-potch") OR if the dictionary contains both parts separately ("half-moon"). 2. With a dictionary containing "'twas" but not "twas", accept "'twas". 3. With a dictionary containing "well" but not "'well", not accept "'well". That's what I would like to happen, and it seems to me not unreasonable. In some experiments, Aspell (0.50-3 in Windows) did not do what I wanted in any of these cases. But perhaps I'm omitting to do something, or perhaps other implementations behave differently, or later versions. The spellchecker in MSWord passes all the tests, but unfortunately it is not available for use in other applications. I haven't been able to test Hunspell. I would be interested to hear anyone else's evidence or experiences.

When spell-checking French words, I have a lot of warnings that make me loose much time, for example l’Europe d’ici and so on are highlighted as errors. I could not understand which aspell option might be used to introduce ’ as not being part of a word. As far as i understood, aspell reads lEurope, that is indeed a mistake. Note that this typographic apostrophe should be used in French, not the English one, and that it is never used for quoting anything.

Now we have the problem that we cannot add words with spaces in the dictionary. It does not recognize it, you get an error. This means that we can never give a suggestion (Did you mean) of a 'product' that exists of multiple words. For example Hydraulic breaker Truck-mounted crane Rough terrain crane This is the mistake I get: Warning: pspell_new_config(): PSPELL couldn't open the dictionary. reason: /home/sites3/site342/web/upload/custom.pws: The word "hydraulische breekhamer" is invalid. The character ' ' (U+20) may not appear in the middle of a word. in /home/sites3/site342/web/templates/products_listing.tpl.php on line 135 Warning: pspell_suggest(): 0 is not a PSPELL result index in /home/sites3/site342/web/templates/products_listing.tpl.php on line 138 How can we solve this?

I'm a long time ispell user converting to Aspell. I've installed Aspell and its dictionary via mac ports. (This is also on a new (Black Thursday) Mac-mini with OSX 10.8.2 and OSX Server 2.2) sudo port install aspell sudo port install aspell-dict-en both apparently installed with no errors. to my .emacs file, I've added: (setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell") (setq-default ispell-extra-args '("--reverse")) I ran "aspell-import ( that process complained about /M and similar inclusions in my .ispell_english file, which surprised me.) Now, when I run ispell on my emacs buffer, I get: "Error: /Users/magill/.aspell.en.pws: The word "personal_ws-1.1 en 635 " is invalid. The character '_' (U+5F) may\ not appear in the middle of a word." This is "sort of true" -- that is the header line created by aspell, and is as is documented at aspell.net So the question is: Which is it... an issue with the macports aspell installation or an issue with aspell itself?

This results in emails with things like "gwkki" instead of "hello." Sometimes, the intended words aren't too difficult to figure out, but it's no unusual for him to send emails with lengthy subject lines in which everything is out of whack. Is it the purpose of aspell's "typo analysis" to be able to suggest the correct words for situations such as mentioned above? If so, how does one use this feature? I have tried something along the lines of: echo "gwkki" | aspell -a --sug-typo-analysis but the suggestions that aspell gave were clearly the same as normal spell checking without the typo option. How SHOULD I be using this so that an analysis of "gwkki" will produce a suggestion of "hello", if that is even at all possible? Thank you.

The point is ... only Linux dictionary has the Portuguese Language Orthographic Agreement between countries. So in 2013 the Agreement will change a lot of words in Brazil, Portugal and other countries... I tried to use word-list-compress to export words from the linux dictionary and create a new RWS dictionary to test with windows version and didn't work. =[ The linux dictonary has some Character and it it not supported in windows. Example: C:\aspell\bin&gt;aspell --lang=pt create master add.rws &lt; wordlist.txt Unhandled Error: The word "DIn/B" is invalid. The character '/' may not appear a t the middle of a word. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. So my mission is find a way out to export the linux dictionary to windows ... I really don't know if it can be done.... You can see my steps in attach. If you have a suggestion or a tip will be nice. =] Best regards. ASPELL - A Missão 1- TENTATIVA 1 word-list-compress c[ompress] | d[ecompress] Description word-list-compress compresses or decompresses sorted word lists for use with the GNU Aspell spell checker.

Examples Here are a few examples of how you can use word-list-compress word-list-compress d &lt;wordlist.cwl &gt;wordlist.txt Decompress file wordlist.cwl to text file wordlist.txt word-list-compress c &lt;wordlist.wl &gt;wordlist.cwl 2&gt;errors.txt Compress wordlist.wl to wordlist.cwl and send any error messages to a text file named errors.txt LC_COLLATE=C sort -u &lt;wordlist.txt | word-list-compress c &gt;wordlist.cwl Sort a word list, then pipe it to word-list-compress to create a compressed binary wordlist.cwl file. word-list-compress d &lt;words.cwl | aspell create master ./words.rws Decompress a wordlist, then pipe it to aspell(1) to create a spelling list.

Prezip-bin is similar to word-list-compress(1) but it allows a larger character set of {0x00...0x09, 0x0B, 0x0C, 0x0E...0xFF} and multi-words larger than 255 characters in length. It can also decompress word-list-compress(1) compatible files. Commands Prezip-bin accepts only one of these commands. -V Display prezip-bin version number to standard output. -d Read a compressed word list from standard input and decompress it to standard output. This can be a word-list-compress(1) or a prezip-bin compressed file. -z Read a binary word list from standard input and compress it to standard output. Examples prezip-bin -d &lt;wordlist.cwl &gt;wordlist.txt Decompress file wordlist.cwl to text file wordlist.txt prezip-bin -z &lt;wordlist.txt &gt;wordlist.pz 2&gt;errors.txt Compress wordlist.txt to binary file wordlist.pz and send any error messages to a text file named errors.txt LC_COLLATE=C sort -u &lt;wordlist.txt | prezip-bin -z &gt;wordlist.pz Sort a word list, then pipe it to prezip-bin to create a compressed binary wordlist.pz file. prezip-bin -d &lt;words.pz | aspell create master ./words.rws Decompress a wordlist, then pipe it to aspell(1) to create a spelling list. Please check the aspell(1) info manual for proper usage and options. Tips Prezip-bin is best used with sorted word list type files. It is not a general purpose compression program since resulting files may actually increase in size._______________________________________________ Aspell-user mailing list Aspell-user&lt; at &gt;gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-user </pre> Gustavo Gonzalez 2012-02-02T18:11:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.aspell.user/2306 <pre> Hi, I am trying to use aspell with varcon word list to convert documents from American spelling into British spelling but after a long time trying I have had no success.

Would it be possible for me to just link every user's personal .aspell.en.pws file to another single file, such that when they Add a word to the list it then becomes a valid word for all users? Will aspell handle file-locking so that no collisions or damage occur to the single shared file? I'm thinking an alternative might be a cron job that grabs every users personal .aspell.en.pws file, concatenates and de-dupes them, then use that file as an -extra-dict?
