Hallo, mdk hat gesagt: // mdk wrote:
im no PD expert, but maybe one avenue worth investigating is finding the appropriate software (hopefully something open-source) that does the word recognition and spell checking then getting that to send control data to PD via netsend / netreceive.
Perl seems to be the obvious candidate for its text munging capabilities, and theres some simple code on the pure-data.org site for a perl client that can talk to PD.

just an idea.
A good idea IMO - although I would prefer Python as in http://www.pure-data.org/Members/fbar/tools/pdsender.py/view which I find easier to learn as well and you could even run it inside Pd. I would run it outside, though.
Pd's own string handling capabilities are *very* limited. In a more text oriented full programming language like Python you get a lot of support for string handling, maybe you'll even find a binding directly to (i)spell.
