Gingerice

Ruby wrapper of Ginger Proofreader which corrects spelling and grammar mistakes based on the context of complete sentences by comparing each sentence to billions of similar sentences from the web.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'gingerice'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install gingerice

Usage

require 'gingerice'

text = 'The smelt of fliwers bring back memories.'

parser = Gingerice::Parser.new
parser.parse text

# output:

{
           "text" => "The smelt of fliwers bring back memories.",
         "result" => "The smell of flowers brings back memories.",
    "corrections" => [
        [0] {
                  "text" => "smelt",
               "correct" => "smell",
            "definition" => nil,
                 "start" => 4,
                "length" => 5
        },
        [1] {
                  "text" => "fliwers",
               "correct" => "flowers",
            "definition" => "a plant cultivated for its blooms or blossoms",
                 "start" => 13,
                "length" => 7
        },
        [2] {
                  "text" => "bring",
               "correct" => "brings",
            "definition" => nil,
                 "start" => 21,
                "length" => 5
        }
    ]
}

This gem also provides executable which can be executed:

$ gingerice "Edwards will be sck yesterday"

# output:

Edwards was sick yesterday

Or if you want verbose output you can add --verbose or -v argument:

$ gingerice --verbose "Edwards will be sck yesterday"

# output:

{
           "text" => "Edwards will be sck yesterday",
         "result" => "Edwards was sick yesterday",
    "corrections" => [
        [0] {
                  "text" => "will be",
               "correct" => "was",
            "definition" => nil,
                 "start" => 8,
                "length" => 7
        },
        [1] {
                  "text" => "sck",
               "correct" => "sick",
            "definition" => "affected by an impairment of normal physical or mental function",
                 "start" => 16,
                "length" => 3
        }
    ]
}
