Orthospell - a spell checker for SciTE under Windows

[ele]

Orthospell uses the hunspell dictionaries and is based on luahunspell by Matt White (https://code.google.com/p/luahunspell/). A couple of bugs have been fixed and several advanced features added.

Advanced features of Orthospell:

* support of languages with special characters such as umlauts (namely: German, French, Spanish)
* support of UTF-8 up to U+053F (Cyrillic) for documents and dictionaries
* selection of alternative dictionaries from the SciTE Tools menu
* full support of HTML files
* support of LaTeX files (may need improvement)

The script has a highly modular design which makes it easy to extend it's functionality to other natural and programming languages (see the notes inside the script)

Orthospell can be downloaded from: tools.diorama.ch

Cool! As I write some articles with SciTE (in HTML or Markdown), I often think some
spellchecking would be cool. There was already one implementation of Hunspell, but it was
a bit convoluted to install (I don't recall the details, but it might need a change to
SciTE or to install some extension).

I will try it right now! Feedback here...

New: Orthospell with user dictionary

Version 1.1 of Orthospell supports now a user dictionary. It is, however, reading only i.e. there is no function implemented to add a word to the dictionary from within SciTE (due to limitations of the hunspell.dll by Matt White, there is no simple way to implement it).

It is suggested to use an existing user dictionary file (such as from your word processor). If the vocabulary of the projects you do with SciTE is quite different, you can easily create one yourself, as user dictionaries are simple text files with one word per line.

The new version also comes with a step-by-step installation manual to make it easier to take full advantage of Orthospell.
