Spell Checking Components for Delphi

Question

One of the requirements for the twitter client we are developing for the community is the spell checker component. What are some of the spell-checker components / systems you used in your applications, and what was your experience with using?

Answer 1

Addict Component Suite is the most comprehensive for Delphi, but it is not free.

But I think that you are looking for free software for your twitter utility, I used LS Speller for a free project and worked great for me, it is based on ISpell, so you can update it with new versions.

But there is no D2009 update yet and it seems that it is not actively developing.

Another use case for MS Word is built into the dictionary .

Answer 2

In the blog comments, Ken simply suggested the LS Spell , which uses ISpell dictionaries. This is for Delphi 5, 6, and 7, so if it does not use the explicit use of other types of strings, they may work fine.

Answer 3

I used Addict and was very pleased with this. I used it mainly in conjunction with WPTools to merge and send by email.

Answer 4

You can use Aspell (Win32 version: http://aspell.net/win32/ ).

In a Delphi project, you can use the command line interface: aspell pipe :

 C: \ Program \ Aspell \ bin> aspell pipe
 @ (#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.50.3)

 hello
 *

 world
 *

 helllo
 & helllo 18 0: hello, Helli, hell lo, hell-lo, hell, Heall, hallo, he'll, hullo, Heller, heller, hellos, Jello, jello, Halli, Holli, hallow, hollow

 wourld
 & wourld 12 0: world, would, wold, whorled, wield, weld, wild, wooled, whirled, worlds, woulds, word

Answer 5

DevExpress VCL also has spell checking, although I only played a little. I also have Addict, which I use in software projects.

Answer 6

If you can guarantee that your client always has MS Word installed, I would suggest MS Word, built into spell checking, also with OLE automation.

Answer 7

I use the TRichView component as my "text editor" in my Delphi application.

It supports many spell checkers that work with Delphi. You can compare the ones it supports:
