Universal AutoCorrect
August 8, 2006
I stumbled accross this yesterday and found it extemely helpful. I have all of these codes set up for me in Word autocorrect. Now I can use them on the web.
Windows only: Blogger Jim Biancolo has put together an excellent AutoHotKey script that will automatically correct a predefined list of misspellings, à la Microsoft Word’s AutoCorrect feature.We’ve seen all of your most common typos, but Jim went a step further to create his AutoCorrect, using Wikipedia’s huge list of common misspellings. So not only does the AutoCorrect handle your everyday “teh’s” – it will also handle a much larger set of probelmed words (<– unfortunately it’s not savvy to pluralization or tense changes).Since AHK apps are always running in the background, what you end up with is a “cross-application AutoCorrect.”For whatever reason, Jim didn’t compile the script as an executable, so I went ahead and did so (you can download it at the second link below). If you want to look at the source script and possibly add or remove a few words, maybe add pluralization support, or just get a look at a great AHK program, Jim makes the script available for download at his site. — Adam PashUniversal AutoCorrect with AutoHotKey and Wikipedia [biancolo.com]Download Universal Autocorrect.exe
