As the world moves online, the grammar and spellchecking we have come to depend on isn’t coming with us. One github project aims to bridge that gap.
As the applications we know and love go online, and we moved more to the browser and less the desktop life is generally getting more agile and more efficient in our day-to-day business lives.
But a few things get lost along the way.
As enterprises start to use web technology to record and store their data, the quality of that data is all-important. there is less human contact and for that reason is truly important that we report exactly what we mean.
When we enter information into a content management system like WordPress it’s a joy for users to be able to contribute to the full interactive web experience by adding images ,links and even videos to what they post.
Underlying this revolution is a technology called WYSIWYG. what you see is what you get a visual way of editing HTML code without knowing HTML code. is a huge step but it has casualties and one of them is spellchecking.
The two leading WYSIWYG technologies in today’s world are CKEditor and TinyMCE competitor free technology that are seen in as many as 50% of the business systems and websites we interface with. yet the very technology which makes that rich editing possible also means that our familiar spellchecker is built into our computers and browsers no longer work and the quality of our information degrades.
NanoSpell a start-up from 2014 having working tirelessly to try and bridge this gap.
Building plug-ins for CKEditor & TinyMCE which bring back the ceaseless international spellchecking experience to quality control the data were entering in our day-to-day business.
On June 2016, spell started community project, in an attempt to bridge the gap between commercial software and the open source marketplace whereby users of their spellchecking technology and developers who implemented can have a say and contribute to a knowledge base of meaningful examples tutorials and code ( kind of like a Wikipedia) to help ensure that the data we enter online is of the same quality as that which was entering a desktop processor.
