Voikkospell

Installation

m5w/corevoikko, a fork of corevoikko, supports apertium stream format.

To clone it, execute the following command:

git clone https://github.com/m5w/corevoikko.git corevoikko

First, install libvoikko's dependencies. Next, execute the following commands:

cd corevoikko/libvoikko
./configure
make
sudo make install

If you do not have root privileges or would like to specify where to install libvoikko, execute the following instead: (Otherwise, you are finished with installation.)

cd corevoikko/libvoikko
PREFIX="$HOME/install/corevoikko" # e.g.
./configure --prefix="$PREFIX"
make
make install

Finally, add your "$PREFIX" to your "$PATH" by appending the following lines to your .profile:

PREFIX="$HOME/install/corevoikko" # e.g.
if [ -d "$PREFIX" ]; then
        export PATH="$PREFIX/bin:$PATH"
fi

Using voikkospell with apertium Stream Format

Invoke voikkospell with --apertium-stream.

Unlike in normal voikkospell usage, each word does not need to be on its own line.

Examples

Trailing Newline

$ echo '' | voikkospell --apertium-stream
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Apertium::ApertiumStream::Unexpe
ctedReservedCharacter'
  what():  1:1: unexpected '\n', '\n' expected to follow '['


^
Aborted

For this reason, when piping text directly to voikkospell --apertium-stream, use echo -n. It is not necessary to do this when piping through tools such as apertium-deshtml, which encapsulate all newlines in superblanks.

One could also escape the newline:

$ echo '\' | voikkospell --apertium-stream

Unanalysed Word

$ echo -n '^a/*a$' | voikkospell --apertium-stream
W: a

Analysed Words

One Tag

$ echo -n '^b/b<A>$' | voikkospell --apertium-stream
W: b

More Than One Tag

$ echo -n '^c/c<B><C>$' | voikkospell --apertium-stream
W: c

Ambiguous Word

$ echo -n '^d/d<D>/d<E><F>$' | voikkospell --apertium-stream
W: d

Multiwords

One Word with Inner Inflection

$ echo -n '^e f/e<G># f/e<H><I># f$' | voikkospell --apertium-stream
W: e f

More Than One Word

Without Inner Inflection

$ echo -n 'gh/g<J>+h<K><L>/g<M>+h<N>$' | voikkospell --apertium-stream
W: gh

With Inner Inflection

$ echo -n '^i jk/i<O># j+k<P><Q>/i<R># j+k<S>$ ^lm n/l<T>+m<U># n/l<V>+m<W># n$' | \
voikkospell --apertium-stream

Escape

To avoid these errors, escape all reserved characters:

$ echo -n '\\\^\/\<\>\$' | voikkospell --apertium-stream

Superblank

One can also make all reserved characters except \ part of superblanks:

$ echo -n '[^/<>$]' | voikkospell --apertium-stream

\ must be escaped:

$ echo -n '[\]' | voikkospell --apertium-stream
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Apertium::ApertiumStream::Unexpe
ctedEndOfFile'
  what():  1:3: unexpected end-of-file following '[', end-of-file expected to fo
llow ']' or '$'
