Apertium [[hfst]] transducers can be compiled into libraries that [[libvoikko]] can use to perform spell checking, including providing suggestions. Our [[lttoolbox]] based transducers should be usable in the same way. Additionally, we have the beginnings of a spell checking interface on our website. 

This project involves finishing up this work, so that the input box on apertium.org does server-based spell checking, and so that all apertium transducers can be used to make spell checkers for other projects.

==Tasks==
* determine the best way to make spell-checking integrated into apertium, both as a configurable option to compile, and as an apertium mode (integrate this into [[apertium-init]])
* make [[Apertium-apy]] support this type of mode
* finish the web interface for [[apertium-html-tools]] for spell checking and make it interface with APY
* make sure that both hfst and lttoolbox transducers can be compiled to libvoikko
* create clean Makefile rules for speller compilation that are usable in our monolingual modules

==Coding challenges==

# Compile a speller for one of our hfst-based analysers and run it on some text
# Create a libvoikko speller from one of our hfst-based analysers
# Compile a speller for an lttoolbox-based analyser via hfst (use lt-print | hfst-txt2fst)
