Spell Checking Software for Visual COBOL

Alex_Castro 8 months ago

We currently use a third-party spell-checking software with one of our COBOL applications. The COBOL program makes a call to this third-party software at run time. This third-party spell-checking software, however, is no longer supported. I wanted to know if anyone knows of a spell-checking software that can be utilized with our COBOL application. We currently use Visual COBOL version 9 with Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022. Our operating systems are Windows 10 Desktop and Windows 2022 Server. Thanks in advance.

Are you using native code (e.g. traditional machine code .exe / DLLs) OR .NET COBOL (aka Managed Code)?

Does it need to be a local library or can it cloud based (REST APIs) that call via REST API calls?

Michael,

We are using native code (.exe/DLLs). I prefer it to be local library.

I'm certainly no expert on spell check libraries, but since its native code and you prefer local, I'm thinking a C/C++ based library might help you. They might be in the form of 3rd party software that can be purchased or on GitHub...e.g.:

Michael,

I prefer that it not be open source software. I need a product that has good support.
