![]() And this not only for the English language, we check text for misspelled words and grammatical errors for over 20 languages. We have one of the largest set of dictionaries, with thousands of rules and we use a statistical corpus to find even rare errors. Statistical grammar checker may find errors that a rule based spellchecker does not. Usually a rule based spellchecker has a solid base of grammatical rules, but as you may know, there is always an exception of an exception of a rule. The collected data is too big to integrate them on a client computer, so this approach is normally not offered by most spell checkers. This approach needs a lot of precomputed data from a large text corpus (yes, Wikipedia is too small for that). The third approach is to create rules based on statistical information.For this to work, the spellchecker needs to look at several words at the same time to get the context instead of just looking for one word after another. Especially people with dyslexia know about this problem. Another example is to find homophones, words that sound more or less the same, but have been used in the wrong manner. In this kind of approach, a spell checker service will detect the wrong use of the indefinite article “”, like using an” instead of “a” before a word beginning with a vowel sound. Some spellcheckers also detect common grammatical errors through predefined rules.This is the simplest method and most spell checkers work like this. A misspelled word is identified easily as long as the dictionary is large enough to contain the word. Each word is compared to a word in a given dictionary.There are three major approaches to use a spell checker and check text for errors. You can even upload images with text and they will be automatically converted to editable text and checked for spelling. It's a multi-stage process and therefore a bit of a PITA, but if you leave it as the last step before releasing a chapter/version of your game - it shouldn't be too odorous as a final "spelling and grammar checking".If you have a file you want to check for misspelled words or grammatical errors, You can upload files directly from your cloud accounts like Google Drive, Dropbox and have it error checked automatically. Then it's just a process of making the changes recommended by Word/Docs/Grammerly into the original scripts using Atom. (Though if you stick to the free version, you'll need to break your dialogue.txt file into smaller chunks to meet their word/character limit). Going further, it's possible to run the dialogue from your game through tools like Grammarly. I'm still using Atom, and I do have the spellchecker switch on.īut modern versions of M$ Word or Google Docs have much better advanced spell checking (not just single words, but words within context too). If you extract your project into a single text file while switching on the option to strip out any text tags from the dialogue, it's then possible to copy/paste the contents of that text file into other programs/websites to allow extra proof reading. If you're worried about advanced spelling or grammar checking. ![]() But write the game as a game first and foremost. By all means, storyboard it first if that helps. Unless you are writing a kinetic novel, any branches are going to make context matter - not least because devs tend to alter their dialogue when they realize what pictures they are going to be using at that point in the script (and visa versa). I too would tend to write the script first within Atom.
