Chopped Tomato Crushed

A grammar checker for OpenOffice Open Source

always seemed to have a great free alternative to office suites. finish OpenOffice has improved significantly in recent years, matching and surpassing in many respects to their proprietary competitors. The only thing I really missed in OpenOffice, Writer specifically, has a grammar and have some of its competitors. Searching and researching I found LanguageTool A free grammar, designed to be multi-language, and for integration into OpenOffice.

Unfortunately, support for English was testimonial. Basically consisted of a few examples (a rule in Java and XML eight) and was not even a charge of rules in English. However, Catalan and Galician had more than a hundred rules everyone!

English, the language of Cervantes, second most spoken language natively in the world after China, was virtually abandoned in the project, although it was supported from the end of 2006. This could not be.

So I decided to get involved in the project. I had no excuse not to, because I meet all the requirements necessary for a task of this nature: Knowledge of programming, management, regular expressions, XML, Java, source control and project management, commitment to free software and last but not least, knowledge of English. The latter is not so obvious from what has been extended lately to kick the nasty habit of inflicting the Dictionary and the Grammar arrastrones painful.

Today, a few weeks later, we have a grammar book, in English, and ready for use, integrated into OpenOffice. Is far from perfect, but I think it will be quite useful for those who use it.

accept aid of all kinds: false positives and new rules. You can try online at community. To send me contributions, you can do it through comments on this blog, that it was created.

(NOTE: LanguageTool 1.0.0 has English support very, very basic. Until they release the next version, I recommend installing the development version)
