What CAT can filter segments with spelling errors in source and translation and support OO/Hunspell and MSO proofing?

Did you try Verifika? Feb 10, 2021

It returns the list of spelling mistakes so you see only these segments, no need to go over the whole file.

I've asked about CAT, not QA tools. Vfk have a lot of disadvantages for my purposes, e.g. it doesn't allow to correct source errors.

I understand what you asking about Feb 10, 2021

However, in my humble opinion, it is better to get rid of errors in the source before opening the source file in a CAT tool. CAT tools are not intended for correcting source files.

I understand your opinion. But my task is — to speed up proofing of scanned multilang source with 6+ languages and 100K+ segs..

CafeTran Espresso can filter segments with spelling errors in translation and support OO/Hunspell. It cannot filter on spelling errors in the source, nor can it use MSO proofing. It *does* allow to correct source errors (but you have to find them manually).

Or ...

You could do this:

  • Clone the project.
  • Copy all sources to targets.
  • Run List all spelling errors.
  • Use the thus created list in F/R in source segments.

I'm was wondering: was the procedure I described of any help? Did you test it?

I've been busy a bit....
Thanks Hans. Having tried some ways I've chosen HSpell program. It can extract all non-dictionary words from text on any lang (if there is a dic). It's small, free and works in seconds. The only problem - it does not suport MSO dic files

Well, if all you're interested in are a list of misspelt words, then you can use a macro in MS Word. See the links that I posted in this post.

Very interesting. I've added macro to my macros collection.
I need not only extracting words, I also need to replace wrong words with correct ones.
