I have ported #TextSuggest to #OpenBSD. This is an #accessibility tool which can suggest words and even type them correctly on behalf of the user. It tries to account for typing mistakes anywhere in a word with fuzzy matching. There is a server part which runs in the background and has the dictionaries, and a frontend which should be bound to a key (e.g. I'm using F12) to make the menu appear while typing.
I am porting this for a friend who is disabled and cannot easily spell and type.
#a11y mobility tech: Dasher
@ed1conf Thanks this looks interesting and I wasn't aware of it. I'll ask my friend if he wants to try it.
@stsp oooh, yay! thanks for doing this, I'm really excited to try it
@pamela Still looking for OKs on my ports of textsuggest and another library it needs
@stsp shitpost more and call it testing? don't mind if I do
@stsp
Is there a website somewhere or a git repo or something?
@dheadshot The upstream project's website is https://bharadwaj-raju.itch.io/textsuggest
#a11y mobility tech: Dasher
@stsp Depending on the degree of mobility limitation, I don't know if Dasher¹ would help increase input speed. I didn't see it in OpenBSD's package repository, but source is readily available and (at least according to the Wikipedia page²) be portable to the BSDs.
