Open source version of Writefull which was posted on HN yesterday.
Select a phrase, Press a hotkey and Bodine can do the following:
- searches selection on Google Books for correctness
- finds synonyms in context and gets their respective correctness using Google books
- matches wildcard in context (i.e. "what you see is what you *")
- returns examples of selected text
- shows historical usage of selected text
- 👍 more to come
This is in early beta with a minimal GUI(zenity really). If you like shabby softwares, you should consider playing with it and contributing.
- GUI
- Select Google Books API by subject/genre
- Google N-grams View
- Incorporate Google Web API
- Synonyms using Textblob library
- Stemming & POS tagging and other NLP: it's -> it is
- POS Tagging
As for now Bodine only runs on Ubuntu with X11 Windows System but can be trivially ported to other dist or windoes systems including Mac OS X.
# on Ubuntu 14.04
