3 weeks ago While I appreciate Ferdium's built-in spell checker, I've found that it sometimes misses errors or suggests incorrect corrections. LanguageTool, on the other hand, is renowned for its accuracy and ability to identify a wide range of grammatical and spelling mistakes. I would like to suggest integrating LanguageTool more deeply into Ferdium to improve the quality of spell checking. This would allow users to benefit from the advantages of this open-source tool, such as its adaptability to different languages and writing styles. https://languagetool.org
Preflight Checklist
Problem Description
I propose integrating LanguageTool, an open-source grammar and spell checker, into Ferdium with a primary focus on WhatsApp. This integration would significantly improve the quality of written communication by providing real-time suggestions for grammatical and spelling errors.
Proposed Solution
Description: Integrate LanguageTool, a popular open-source grammar checker, directly into Ferdium. Benefits: This would improve the quality of my written communication, reduce the number of errors, and enhance the overall user experience. Challenges: There might be some performance implications, especially when dealing with large messages or multiple languages.
Alternatives Considered
Developing a custom spell checker: While this would offer more control, it would be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Using a different open-source grammar checker: Other options exist, but LanguageTool is widely regarded as one of the most accurate and customizable.
Additional Information
Use case: Being able to write emails and messages without worrying about typos would significantly improve my productivity. Customization: The ability to customize the spell checker's settings (e.g., language, dictionary) would be a valuable addition.
