Bad Spelling
February 17, 2005

I had a great idea in the shower this morning.

As you may or may not know, Windows servers don’t have access (please correct me if I’m wrong) to the aspell spelling resources of PHP that Linux servers do. As a result, many of the spell-checkers that one might install for WordPress just won’t work on Windows.

Here’s my idea: Create aplugin that exposes an XMLRPC method for spelling. The method would accept an array of unique words and return an array of misspelled words, each with an array of suggested replacements.

The instructions included in the archive are fairly complete. A couple examples of the more advanced parameters of the sIFR.replaceElement function would be nice.
