Anki add-on to check and correct spellings in card editor

Primary LanguagePython

Spellcheck

Anki add-on to check spellings in card editor and suggest correct words. A simple verison of deprecated add-on SpellingPolice-[lovac42] and updated to be compatible with Qt6.

Installation

Copy the spellcheck directory to your addons21 folder. Move the spellcheck/dictionaries subdirectory to the parent folder of addons21 which should be Anki2. It comes with UK and US English but will recognise and load any other .bdic dictionaries that are placed within dictionaries.

Dictionaries can be found here: https://github.com/cvsuser-chromium/third_party_hunspell_dictionaries

Use

Select the current dictionary by going to Tools>Spellcheck Options in the Anki menu bar. Right-click misspelled words to see a list of suggestions and left-click to replace. Spellcheck can be toggled off and on from this menu for when cards contain a lot of non-conventional syntax and the misspelled-highlighting becomes unhelpful.

Currently tested and working on macOS Qt5.14 Anki 2.1.64 and Windows Qt6.4.3 Anki 2.1.64
