This Week's InDesign Plug-In Giveaway

Smart Speller


Smart Speller
InDesign Plug-In from Woodwing

Smart Spellerâ„¢ adds the enhanced spelling func­tion­al­i­ty of the lan­guage insti­tute *TALOâ„¢ to Adobe® InDesign® and InCopy® CS2 and CS3. Smart Speller offers tremen­dous improve­ments to the spelling pro­vid­ed by InDesign and InCopy. In addi­tion to enhanced spelling func­tion­al­i­ty for lan­guages that are avail­able in stan­dard InDesign and InCopy, Smart Speller also intro­duces spelling func­tion­al­i­ty for lan­guages that are not avail­able in stan­dard InDesign and InCopy, includ­ing Bahasa Indonesia and Melayu, Bulgarian, Croatian, Australian English and many others.

Benefits of Smart Speller
• Accuracy: sup­ply­ing you with prop­er alter­na­tives • Speed: the basic prin­ci­ples guar­an­tee an eco­nom­i­cal spelling pro­ce­dure • The abil­i­ty to imme­di­ate­ly and auto­mat­i­cal­ly learn unknown words, while out­dat­ed words are for­got­ten • Switching between lan­guages at any moment dur­ing a spelling ses­sion • New fea­tures added each year • *TALO spelling modules

Most spellers on the mar­ket are based on the per­mu­ta­tion or the tri­gram method. It is beyond the reach of many spellers to include in their lex­i­cons every com­pound that appears. Their lex­i­cons main­ly con­sist of roots of words that are meant to be com­bined with each oth­er. Resulting com­bi­na­tions are applied blind­ly, lead­ing to spelling errors with­out the user’s approval.
These spellers skip mis­spelled words and the user is not aware of his mis­takes. Those prob­lems are elim­i­nat­ed with Smart Speller.

Each European lan­guage has a very dis­tinct char­ac­ter of its own. Therefore, each speller has its own lan­guage mod­el, describ­ing its char­ac­ter­is­tic behav­iour and guar­an­tee­ing its speed.

Now with the inte­gra­tion of *TALO’s lan­guage tech­nol­o­gy, Smart Speller goes beyond the word bound­ary, leav­ing the fun­da­men­tal spelling prin­ci­ples unchanged.

Better Spelling
Smart Speller fol­lows the rules and excep­tions of spelling gov­erned by lead­ing acad­e­mies. Therefore, abbre­vi­a­tions, punc­tu­a­tion marks, fixed for­mats such as dates and num­bers (finan­cial data), and Internet address­es are con­trolled dur­ing the spelling process.

Smart Speller has a mem­o­ry that con­tains words, such as the user’s mis­takes or unique, dif­fer­ent­ly spelled words. The func­tion of its mem­o­ry for a whole com­pa­ny or sep­a­rat­ed busi­ness units could be its favourite style; words are col­lect­ed in sep­a­rat­ed user and/or serv­er lex­i­cons. Smart Speller has this learn­ing abil­i­ty, mak­ing it very con­ve­nient for any­one to use.

Spelling changes (for exam­ple, between lead­ing acad­e­mies or between American and British English) are an option, too. You can cre­ate and imple­ment your favourite style for com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the exter­nal world.
