The first official release of Spelt is finally here!
Here is the announcement posted to the relevant mailing lists (well, it will be posted there as soon as we sort out our e-mail problems):
I'm very glad to introduce Spelt 0.1, the first official release of the program!
What is Spelt? It is a program that is used to classify words according to their roots and parts-of-speech.
For what is Spelt used? We use it in the creation of spell-checkers.
Here are some of the basic features of Spelt:
- Loading a language database (.xldb file).
- Saving a language database.
- Marking surface form words as "ignored".
- Marking surface form words as "rejected".
- Associating surface forms with a root (with a predefined part-of-speech).
- Changing the part-of-speech associated with a root.
- Importing lists of words to be used as surface forms.
- Recording the user making changes to the database.
- Auto-completion of roots, even there are tens of thousands of roots available.
- Auto-completion for parts-of-speech.
