So I'm looking for a way to get this spell checked. So I have all this content in FG, and it's never been spell checked. Typing in the story entries, doing up the NPC's, items etc in FG, not in an external app and then pasting or parsing to get it into FG. That doesn't sound very scalable but it might work for scratching your own itch.So I'm authoring the content in FG. (Maybe there's some kind of a common structure among e.g. Each application might do that more or less differently, so you'd need to specifically support each application. The dictionaries might be compressed, or inside an archive, or bundled into something somehow. On Windows, each of those applications probably bundles their dictionary somewhere with the application's other program and data files. (I found some documentation at but I don't know how up to date that is.)Įlectron apps such as Slack probably uses the built-in Chromium spell-checker. You might want to start to by figuring out which spell checking implementations each of you applications uses, and then try and see if there's any documentation available regarding the dictionary formats of those libraries.įor example Hunspell seems to have its dictionaries in simple text files, with some attributes for each word apart from the word form itself, but perhaps those additional attributes aren't necessary so it might be reasonably easy to work with. If they did, that'd probably be a lot easier and less error-prone to work with than manually parsing a file.) (Edit: For something like MS Office, it might be worth checking if MS happens to provide some kind of an API for dealing with ther dictionaries. And most proprietary applications, especially ones with long history such as MS Office, probably have their own spell checking implementations with their own dictionary formats. Eclipse, being Eclipse, seems to have a bunch of third-party plugins for various spell checker libraries. Hunspell is fairly commonly used in open source applications, and AFAIK e.g. There are multiple different somewhat common spell checking libraries even in the open source world, though. If some applications use a common open source spell checker library, the dictionary format might of course be the same. That is, without looking at any of those formats or how the programs store their dictionaries, but I'd be surprised if they weren't different.
This would require a custom parser for each file type/format depending on the program.
