how good have you found the results of the local LanguageTool server to be? 🤔

Last time I checked the FOSS version was quite a bit less capable than the SaaS version.

that's awesome!

except...do you know how would one correct those things straight from eloquent itself?

Also, about the accessibility side of it, the application has a very simple interface, which is very good, less things to go wrong! however, as it is now, I have no idea, as a screenreader user, what is wrong in a given piece of text, and how to fix it, looking at the interface itself. So then, here are some suggestions, if you'd like to implement them, I can also make an issue in the project's forge if you think that's better

• firefox uses text attributes to mark something as a spelling error, perhaps do the same
• add a tooltip which modifies itself, or use the actions API of gtk, to tell the screenreader additional information provided by language tool, why a bit of text is wrong
• if language tool allows it, add a keyboard shortcut or a context menu item to correct the word, otherwise the current suggestions are more than enough if implemented

Any idea of ​​why it doesn't work with Thunderbird? The extension also exists for Thunderbird¹, but when I select "Local Server" it finds nothing, and when I manually enter the address as for LibreOffice² I have no more success.

According to (among others) forum.languagetool.org/t/probl…, and if I compare to github.com/sonnyp/Eloquent/blo…, I have the impression that the solution is not to be found on the side of Thunderbird, what do you think?

I tried to see if I could make the modification directly at the level of the installed flatpak (I don’t even know if it’s really feasible), and thus be able to test my hypothesis, but I don’t find the file languagetool.js.

Problem with local server with Thunderbird

I’m trying to run a local server with the thunderbird addon : Grammar and Spell Checker — LanguageTool :: Add-ons for Thunderbird I’ve installed that, downloaded LanguageTool-stable and run it using: java -cp languagetool-server.jar org.

@lebout2canap I see

Are you able to test this? github.com/sonnyp/Eloquent/pul…

GNOME Builder will let you build/run LanguageTool from git easily.

Make sure to quit the current/stable instance of Eloquent first.

After fighting for a long time with Builder who launched itself without displaying windows, and after waiting for the time necessary to download all the dependances, I came across the following error:

Program ../troll/gjspack/bin/gjspack found: NO

../src/meson.build:21:10: ERROR: Program '../troll/gjspack/bin/gjspack' not found or not executable

Unfortunately I have already devoted too much time to this problem for today.
