Typo/slang correction not found? about chatcontrol-pro

[EvilOlaf]

Quite easy.

match teh
then rewrite the


match \bu\b
then rewrite you

And so on...

[MrBaconHawk]

Can I do this?

match \bgonna\b

then replace going to

Or is it an issue to do "Going to" with the space there?

[EvilOlaf]

Nope, should work.

I'm going to have to add every single typo there is then manually? That's going to take a million years. Know of any shortcuts or ways to get a better list of typos that can be corrected?

[EvilOlaf]

Due to the design of the plugin you can very precisely define what to detect and what to replace with.
However there is no feature like an auto-correct. This also would not be easy to make because either you would have to send the message to an online service to let it auto-correct, get it pack and send it then to the chat which would lead into delay or including dictionaries in various languages as well as grammar rules. Both would significantly increase server load, plugin size and probably the cost as well because commercial distribution of dictionaries needs to be paid ^^

To cut the long story short: Yes you have to add each typo you want to have automatically fixed as a rule. You can merge similar typos using regex like

match \b(y|wy)\?\b
then rewrite why?

[MrBaconHawk]

Okay, well thanks anyway.

[EvilOlaf]

You're welcome.

Feel free to contribute to the project by sharing a few of your typo corrections as examples to let others benefit :)

Oh, definitely. I'll see if I can't get my developer to make a system that catches typos by cross-checking them (like you said, but instead, put it in a queue and do it when either nobody is online or CPU usage is low so it causes no troubles) and if it finds errors it makes new rules for them (perhaps I'll make it store the typo so it can be reviewed first before officially added as a rule, since I don't trust computers to do it correctly... lol). Does that sound like it could work to get a good-sized list to share with everyone?

[EvilOlaf]

Sounds quite interesting.
I am no developer of CHC, @kangarko might be interested though ;)

[MrBaconHawk]

Well if I can't seem to figure it out, I'll ask him if he wants to help. It could make a huge difference in his plugin, and he could do a lot with that.
