A rubygem for natural spelling and grammar checking
- wesray 13y agoThanks for writing this Gem, looks absolutely awesome. I hope Ginger Proofreader keeps their API up also, but I will definitely write some tests in my app to make sure it's working. I noticed in your gem you are using your API key, and I'm not sure about their rate limits, but it would probably be in everyones best interest to get their own key.
- etrain 13y agoThe title of this post could use some "grammar checker."
- subosito 13y agoHaha, you're right. I think I need to learn more about grammar. My English is bad, that's why I create and love this gem :)
- jhonovich 13y agoHow do you anticipate using this in your apps? Will you integrate it on the client side to provide real time feedback to users?
- subosito 13y agoI have no idea about integration yet. I use command line for the result and ruby session for more details result. I think realtime feedback for comment (like derwiki's comment) is nice idea.
- derwiki 13y agoThat's what I was wondering. It's neat, but how much do people really like having their grammar corrected? Might be more off-putting than it's worth. That said, Facebook's grammar correction in the comment widget is a godsend.
- guntursaptap 13y agoI really enjoyed reading this post. Thanks for sharing ith others. You really share valuable information
- neilk 13y agoA library for a web service API? Hey, congrats on doing creating it, but the headline made me think there was a spelling and grammar checker in pure Ruby.
- subosito 13y agoI am sorry to disappoint you neilk. Hope we or someone else can create in pure ruby in the future.
- jschuur 13y agoI don't see the API documented on http://gingersoftware.com http://gingersoftware.com. It seems to hardcode the API key it sends to http://services.gingersoftware.com/Ginger/correct/json/GingerTheText http://services.gingersoftware.com/Ginger/correct/json/Ginge... @subosito: I take it you work for these guys? What's the rate limit? Commercial or non profit usage terms?
- subosito 13y agoYes, you're right jschuur. Ginger software only gives windows installer, and they don't have an api documented. Since I am Linux user I can use their web based tool only, http://www.gingersoftware.com/features/grammar_checker.html http://www.gingersoftware.com/features/grammar_checker.html. I had an idea to wrap it into a rubygem and then gingerice was born. I have no affiliation with them. I just see their service is awesome. I am not sure about their rate limits and usage term. That's why on Readme page I state "hope they will keep it free".
- Azd325 13y agoThanks for this gem and this inspiration I'm working on a python library https://github.com/Azd325/gingerit https://github.com/Azd325/gingerit . To get this pretty API to the python world.
