The Devil is in the Detail

Added "Treat hyphen as punctuation" option.

Removed the double-clicking on words as it interferes with standard selection procedures.

Note that the command-line options now use a single "-" instead of "--", so make changes accordingly. This is more consistent with Qt standards.

Also, a small, but annoying bugfix. The previous version didn't allow the dictionary to be changed via the tool button whenever the "Change dictionary on keyboard layout change" option was selected.

Changelog is now here.

Enjoy!

It's all about context

Well almost...

I'm proud and happy to announce a new and improved version of the free-world's leading stand-alone live! spell checker. Get it while it's hot kids!

These are just but a few updates:

• published User Manual


• published API documentation


• better support for non-Latin languages


• automatic handling of text input direction


• ability to add words to personal word list


• misspelled words are now "clickable", which executes the custom command


• many more changes, bugfixes and additions...

Check out the changelog for a full list of changes.

Gold code!

Tired of your favorite application not having spell checking support?

Tired of having to continuously switch between languages when spell checking different documents?

Keep writing assasination, when you actually mean assassination?

Relax, your worries are now over.

Kisa provides spell checking as you type under X11 based systems and displays the result in a small window on your Desktop. You can type anywhere, in any window and Kisa will spell check the word for you.

Kisa uses GNU Aspell as it's back-end, so it's easy to manage and install one of the 70+ dictionaries that are available.

These days most major applications already provide live spell checking, or spellcheck-as-you-type as it's also known. Firefox does it now and if you're running KDE, it's been there for a while. However, there are still plenty of cases where one could want this, especially if one feels a sudden case of dyslexia coming up.

Try it out! Let me know what you think.
