grammalecte4ros

A minimalist Grammalecte wrapper for ROS

Grammalecte is an open source spell and grammar checker, coded in Python, supporting for now French and Occitan.
It is used here in a non-interactive way; for each detected error, the first correction suggestion is blindly accepted.
The idea could be to use this in conjunction with a speech-to-text or a chatbot, in an attempt to possibly slimly improve the quality of the interactions... maybe...
This ros node has been tested with Grammalecte 2.1.2.

System dependency

• Make sure the necessary system dependencies are installed:

sudo apt-get install python3-grammalecte

• You may also be interested in the command-line interface, despite it is not mandatory for this ros node

sudo apt-get install grammalecte-cli

• Note that, at the time of wrigting this, a 'pip install pygrammalecte' provides Grammalecte 1.3.0, which is not compatible with this ros node

Tests

• Do the typical ROS & catkin stuff according to your favorite cookbook, eg.:

$ mkdip -p ~/catkin_ws/src  
$ cd ~/catkin_ws  
$ catkin_make  
$ git clone  https://git.code.sf.net/p/grammalecte4ros/code  src/grammalecte4ros  
$ . devel/setup.bash  
$ catkin_make  
$ . devel/setup.bash  
$ roscore &  

• Start the grammalecte4ros node:

$ rosrun grammalecte4ros grammalecte_node &

• Test it with a simple call to it service:

$ rosservice call /grammalecte/correct 'input: "Dès que le vent soufflera, je repartira."'
