Re: Spell checking component for GNOME

[Dietmar Maurer <dietmar maurer-it com>]

I would like to see the spell checker as a global service.
We only need an interface to:

- get the words/sentences form the application (get_next_word())
- mark (misspelled) words
- replace words

The spelling process is under complete control of the container (gshell)

Note that you can use such interface for several purposes:

    - spell check
    - text to speech applications

and maybe something more uncommon:

    - export as a text document
    - input for streaming viewer (GNU sview
http://acm.cs.umr.edu/~gnu-sview/)
    - ....

Regards
