Looking for a freelancer to develop a plugin: Misspelled Word Counter

[Miguel Lescano]

@Ekopalypse Thanks a lot! I can’t find the typo to save my life…
I’ve been using your script today to write the cues for my very first crossword puzzle for Spanish learners:
http://crossword.info/spanishinput/Spanish_Input_Level_1_Puzzle_001
All the cues use only words from the top 1000, except for proper names.

BTW, I have a couple of special request, so feel free to charge me for this. I know this is taking from your time, and I’m grateful for it:
Is there a way to add comment lines that are completely ignored from the calculation? I mean, not even counted in the word total. Maybe lines that start with // or with an asterisk or something like that.

Yes, I’ve been thinking about the All caps letters thing… Sometimes it does make sense to treat them the same as the other words. Still thinking…

Thanks a lot!

Maybe you could convince predelnik to implement it!? My approach could serve as a template.
Maybe another tab called Statistics under Settings… with an option to display this in realtime in the DocType field!?

I agree with this, you could request a new feaure here:
https://github.com/Predelnik/DSpellCheck/issues

So like “feature request: count misspelled words” or “report/stats of misspelled words” or something like that, and refer to this forum thread.

Cool :-)

As long as I have time to do it and enjoy making it work, no problem.

Yes, this is possible, but that will mean that misspelled-word-synchronization with DSpellCheck isn’t working anymore, correct?

[Miguel Lescano]

@Ekopalypse Yes, this would kinda break things with DSpellCheck, but it’s not a problem.
I’d love to be able to add notes between Spanish dialogues. The notes would not be actually recorded for my students. I have a YouTube channel where I publish recordings of my stories:

In the future, I plan to learn to use Unreal Engine to create short animations, so the notes would also include scene descriptions.

@Miguel-Lescano

The easiest way would be if the comment always starts at the
beginning of a line. But it can also be solved if the comment appears at
the end. What wouldn’t be so nice is if something like text comment text
is thought of or comment goes over several lines without the
new lines having a comment character at the beginning.

Assuming we use // as the “comment sign”

Relatively easy

// Comment
Text  // Comment

Not so easy:

// Comment
still comment //
Text

Text //comment
comment// Text

What do you think?

[Miguel Lescano]

@Ekopalypse Hi!
Yes, my plan is to have comment-only lines that could start with //, so the “relatively easy” option is what I’m looking for. I guess the line can be as long as I want it to be, right?

Theoretically yes, but there is a known problem with szintilla and the handling of “really” long lines but I do not assume that your comments
are longer than 1000 characters, right?

Ok, I give it a try.

[Miguel Lescano]

@Ekopalypse Yes, my comments would not be too long. Just explanations and descriptions.

@Miguel-Lescano

Sorry for the delay I got distracted by some other cool projects.
I opened a github page to release some of my scripts and I’d say
we use the issue tracker on github to avoid cluttering the forum here.

[Miguel Lescano]

@Ekopalypse Thanks! I’ll check it out.
