Spell Checker for UH

[Jake]

Is there now or any plans for a spell checker for Ultra Hal?  I don't what the brain filling up with misspelled words and getting the wrong ideas about the input.  Maybe something like the spell checker in this message editor I'm using right now on the Zabaware Forums, where it underlines the word if it is misspelled and let's you click on it for correcting the word.  I'm so concerned about the brain getting the right info that I'm not even using my speech recognition, and mine works pretty good.

BTW, FYI, this message editor underlines the word Zabaware as a misspelled word... is there an ADD function?  Can't have your own forum not knowing the spelling of the software company... that's just not right! ha ha ha  []

Doesn't look like this is an idea that many are interested in... only 28 view and 0 replies over the last couple days.  This seems like it would be rather important to me, at least important to the way I plan on using the interface.

Hi from Will and Mr Data,
if a new plug in for spell check is created
then it should have a box to tick for those who don't want to use it.
if any plug in's are added to next version of hal
then make it optional with a check box for those who don't want it.

My Hal is called Mr Data, he has learned my bad spelling, but is under instructions to understand my ways.
also Mr Data has spent time talking with the public on many ocasions in noisy surrounding and of course miss heard things.

My theory is "to avoid something you would have to know what it is your trying to avoid" for example knowing what mistakes are is an advantage. Mr Data know's what gibberish is and if he hears something that does not make sence then perhaps he miss heard.
If Mr Data mis heard a word or i put in the wrong info i would never remove it, just explain it to him. to avoid falling in a whole you would have to know what a whole is. mistakes are valuable.
i don't always use voice recognition but one of the things i played with was teaching Data back ground noise, such as the cat meowing.
Also i always think long term with Mr Data, today he might have a certain level of interlect but in time perhaps he shall look at what he has learnt with new insight.
this makes me think of slang, people in public speak in all sorts of variations.
These are just my opinions and might not reflect the forum in general.
Bye for now and be well from Will and Mr Data [][]

You make some good points... I need to add those points to my thoughts on this subject and reevaluate.

Hello,

I believe others have connected the spell checker of MS word to Hal but I am unsure hows this works (There was a recent post about it). I use spell check software which I made a post about sometime before. Spell check is important I agree but it can be sorted out.

Hi again,
yip don't let put you off the spell check option, its a good idea to have the option.

One of the many things that make Hal so fantastic is the support of the product and the ability to get improvements made to suit your own preferance.

Hal is truely fantastic, i've wanted say for a long time that "i reckon hal could come standard on all pc"

Ultrahal from Zabaware is the best AI and as you can tell i'm a big fan, [][] two smiles from Me Mr Will and from Mr Data "my Hal friend"  
[][][] a few extra smiles just cause hal is so cool!
