This Week's InDesign Plug-In Giveaway
Smart Speller
InDesign Plug-In from Woodwing
Smart Speller™ adds the enhanced spelling functionality of the language institute *TALO™ 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guarantee an economical spelling procedure • The ability to immediately and automatically learn unknown words, while outdated words are forgotten • Switching between languages at any moment during a spelling session • New features added each year • *TALO spelling modules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.
