  • About Misspelled
  •  


Misspelled is a Wow chat spell-checker. It watches chat messages you type, highlighting misspellings. Misspelled words may be right clicked to obtain a list of replacement suggestions.

Misspelled Screen Shot

Misspelled utilizes the HunSpell style, affix (prefix/suffix) compressed dictionaries. The same ones used in Chrome, Firefox, and OpenOffice. Misspelled provides suggestions based on words that phonetically sound like the misspelled word, along with suggestions based on common mistakes of spelling.

I've included in the US English dictionary some Warcraft specific proper nouns, including the zone names, and all Wrath dungeon and raid boss names. Your friends and guild members are also automatically added.

Misspelled includes dictionaries for US-English, French, German, and Spanish. The appropriate dictionary, for your game client locale, will auto-load, or you can manually choose what dictionary to use from Misspelled's Interface/Addons options page.

Misspelled works with WIM (Wow Instant Messenger), and is compatible with: Prat, Skinner, Linerator and Chatter.

Note: The last word in the chat box, isn't spell checked until you type some form of word terminator, either a period, space, or some other word separating punctionation. Spell checking is very fast; but I don't want to check unneedlessly. I don't spell check the last word on a line, until it looks like your finished typing that word.

Change Log:

  • r41 - Fixed a version number typo.
  • r40 - Modified a hook to WIM, needed to remove the highlighting of misspelled words, prior to sending a chat message to the server. The author of WIM is due to add a specific API, just for this purpose, in the next release.
    Added the following words to the US English dictionary (includes some proper nouns from the patch 3.3 PTR): Frostwing, Sindragosa, Baine, San'layn, Bronzebeard, Valanar, Doomguard, Saurfang, Plagueworks, Highlord, Tirion, Valithria, runeblade, Fordring, Muradin, Putricide, Deathwhisper, Hippogryph, Bloodhoof, Lich, Frostmourne, Wrynn, Marrowgar, wyrm, Skybreaker, undeath, Orgrim's, Dreamwalker, Shadowfiend, Mograine, Darion, Lana'thel
  • r39 - Added 77 additional words to the US English dictionary. (Patch 3.2 instance boss names)
  • r38 - Ready for patch 3.2. Updated .toc file for patch 3.2
  • r37 - Replaced French dictionary with the one used in Chromium. I included the additional words Chromium added.
    http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/third_party/hunspell/dictionaries/fr_FR.dic_delta
    Fixed a typo/bug in the UTF8 section of RemovePrefix. This was causing words to be flagged as misspelled, if you were using one of the UTF8 (non-English) dictionaries and the word contained one of the affix compressed prefixes, even though the word was spelled correctly.
  • r36 - Added a French dictionary.
  • r35 - Hopefully fixed the issue that was crashing client.
    Hooked ChatThrottleLib:SendChatMessage so I can clean any misspelled highlighted words before the message is sent.
  • r34 - Misspelled now adds spell-checking to WIM chat windows. Please report any issues you have with this new feature.
  • r33 - Guild member and friends player names phonetic codes were always being generated using the US English phonetic code routine. The generic phonetic code is now used for German and Spanish. Locals added for ipairs and pairs, to WordDict.lua, to increased speed.
  • r32 - Added 642 new base words to the US English dictionary. See the change-log for more info.
  • r31 - Fix an error occurring for new users that were not using a prior version and didn't have a savedVariables Misspelled.lua file.
  • r30 - Spanish (esES) dictionary support added.
    There is a new interface options page, that allows you to manually select a dictionary to load.
    Fewer and better suggestions returned for misspelled words.
    UTF8 multi-byte character encodings support added.
  • r25-r27 Capitalized misspelled words will stay capitalized after selecting a replacement suggestion. Long term I want to detect the beginning of a sentence, so I can correct incorrect Capitalization. For now this change should help.
    Added these characters to the list of word separators: "(", ")", ";"
    The Suggestion ranking EditDistance method's substitution cost, is now case insensitive.
  • r24 - Changed the misspelled highlighting to a medium-cyan-ish color. Hopefully this will make it easier to see misspelled words in all the common channels: Say, Party, Raid, Guild, Whisper, Trade, Yell
  • r23 - Added Ace3 OptionDep tag to the .toc, so the addon would properly load for those running without libs embedded.
  • r22 - Now uses AceEvent to replace the hidden frame and OnEvent hook needed to load guild members.
    Added the "words" LFG and LFM to the US English dictionary.
    When a suggestion is selected to replace a given misspelled word (or Ignore or Add to Dic. was selected), the cursor was positioned at end of the replaced word. Now, if there is a space after that word, the cursor is positioned to the right of that space. This should reduce the spell-checking needed when the only character on the line, to the right of a cursor, is a space.
  • r21 - Changed some of the frame xlm code, to hopefully hide a phantom dropdown frame that was being reported showing up.
  • r20 - A German dictionary has been added and will load if you are using the German client.
    Note: No Warcraft specific proper nouns have been included in the German dictionary.
    Did some work to help ensure Misspelled's compatability with other chat addons.
    Various speed improvements.
  • r19 - Fix for errors reported loading friends player names into the dictionary.
  • r18 - Reduced memory needed to store the dictionary in half. Affix keys and phonetic codes are no longer stored using subtables. Memory usage went from 11.6Mb to 5.7Mb
    The user dictionary storage format was changed to match the, updated, in memory dictionary storage format. Any existing user dictionaries will be converted the first time you load r18.
    Improved the suggestions generation, especially when the word contains a capital letter.
    Maximum number of suggestions returned is now 8, not 10.
  • r17 - No UI or functionality changes. Made some parts of the code more efficient.
  • r16 -
    Maximum suggestions increased to 10
    Fixed an error where words in all CAPS, or words that contained numbers were throwing a Lua error.
    Fixed the chat edit cursor position so it moves naturally as you perform edits in and around misspelled highlighted words. Wow this was a lot of work. Did you know you can crash Wow, with an invalid cursor position!
    Fixed a problem where the spell checking routine was firing twice, if it found a misspelled word.
    More code cleanup. There shouldn't be any remaining, non reachable code.
    We're getting very near release quality!
  • r15 - The Misspelled word suggestions pop-up dialog now takes up less space. And a "Cancel" option was added to the bottom of the pop-up.
    Guild members weren't always loading. The loading guild members routine is now delayed until the first ChatEditBox_OnTextChanged event. I wasn't always getting guild member info during addon loading.
  • r14 - Fixed error loading guild members
  • r13 - Your friends and guild roster are now, upon zone-in, added to the list of correctly spelled words. Suggestions that match a friend or guild member player name are flagged with either (Friend) or (Guild), in the suggestions right-click pop-up. Lots of cleanup and remarks added to the code. Fixed cases where editing near the boundary of a highlighted misspelled word would mangle color tag information leaving only partial color tags. Started implementing routines to correctly set the cursor position when the chat text is changed by Misspelled. More work is still needed here.
  • r11 - Fixed an error that occurred when adding a word to the user dictionary.
  • r10 - Debug print statements turned off, fixes related to clearing cached information about the current chat text.
  • r09 - Fixes for Chatter
  • r07 - Added Wrath dungeon and raid boss names to the standard Dictionary, along with the words: Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking, mana, and Warcraft
  • r06 - Fixes problems with embedded links.
  • r05 - "Ignore All" and "Add to User Dictionary" features implemented.

    Can you add a feature to add a word a suggestion to the dictionary or remove? That would be very helpful for when the word you want isnt in there along with making it customizeable for the people who can want to add words that arnt in there. Please send me a message. Thanks

    When you right-click a misspelled word, you can choose to add it to your personal dictionary. Words added to your personal dictionary are never again flagged as misspelled. Your personal dictionary is saved, each time you logout, and is unique per account. You have the same personal dictionary across all your characters. Personal dictionary location: <wow game folder>\wtf\Account\<account name>\SavedVariables\Misspelled.lua.

    Does it have a non-US English dictionary as well? For those of us who are in Australia or the UK and like to spell things like colour honour neighbour etc?

    The last thing I would want is for it to tell me to spell things the American way >_> =D

    Currently US-English is the only flavor of English included. I'll work to add UK and Australian for you. Hopefully I'll get them added by mid Sept.

  • How do you get Misspelled to work in WIM?

    Reply Report Permalink
  • nrpieper said 

    There is nothing you need to configure in either WIM or Misspelled. Version r35 and later, auto-detects if WIM is installed and integrates automatically.

    In WIM whisper chat boxes, you should see misspelled words highlighted just like they are on the default chat box.

    Make sure your using the latest version of WIM and Misspelled.

    If you still have difficulty, there could be some other addon causing the integration to fail. As a test, try disabling all addons except WIM and Missplleed. Test and see if the integration works.

    just updated tonight without reading about the WIM integration, every time i sent out a whisper (using WIM) i would get DCed. after an hour i thought it might be a mod and not my connection. disabled the only three which ware updated, worked fine, narrowed it down to this, then came here and read the above post. so that's my experience =D btw WIM integration would be awesome, hope it works soon

    can you add in common misspellings for instance names? They seem to be missing.

    Reply Report Permalink
  • nrpieper said 

    All the zone names, instance names, and Wotlk instance boss names I've added, are in the Dict\Dict_enUS.lua file starting at line 3038.

    I only added proper nouns or the parts of proper nouns where the words wern't in the US English dictionary.

    I didn't add any suffix information for the words I added. So words like "Razorscale's breath" may show up as misspelled, due to the missing suffix.

    Let me know what you feel is missing and I'll be happy to add the additional words.

    Thanks.
