JOrtho (Java Orthography) is a spell-checker entirely written in Java. Its dictionaries are based on the free Wiktionary project and can therefore be updated by virtually any language.
The library works with any JTextComponent from the Swing frame work. This includes JEditorPane, JTextPane, and JTextArea.
Here are some key features of "JOrtho":
· highlight the potentially wrongly spelled word
· offer a context menu with suggestions for a correct form of the word
· context menu with option to change the checking language
· dialog (when pressing F7 key) for continuous spell check of the text
· user defined dictionary for words that are not in the global one (this is an option that appears inside the continuous checking dialog)
· translated spell checker GUI so users will see buttons and labels in the language of the current locale
· standalone API, no server is required but applets are possible, see the sample.
· detect capitalization errors
· enable or disable every feature separately
Requirements:
· Java 5 or later
· 1-2MB free memory in the JavaVM (depending on the dictionary)
