Added a new feature to SCIM malayalam phonetic input method. It can give spelling suggestions while typing!!!. Cool right? See the below screenshot from my system. I am editing some text in GEDIT. For typing വിള, I have to type viLa according to the IM Scheme. But as every body does, I typed vila. Now hint menu comes with two suggestions. ള and ല. I press arrow keys and it becomes വിള. ...

It was a wonderful week end. Myself and Benzi were working on the spell checker for Malayalam. In April we had done lot of research on this. We did the coding for the dictionary representation in the Binary Retrieval tree (TRIE). Saturday night we did the candidate list generation coding. It is a wonderful experience to code in the late night – one laptop and two persons to code!!!. Every thing worked fine. When we finished the coding, we realized that the application can be tuned to a universal(?) spell checker. So sunday we tested it using a 3 lakh english words.. Worked fine!!. We compared the spelling options generated with aspell. Ours was giving more options since our dictionary is bigger than aspell’s. ...
