Please see the file COPYING provided with+this distribution for license terms.++This package is a newer version of the original package called "thimk".++"thimk" (an old joke) is a command-line spelling word+suggestion tool.  You give it a possibly-misspelled word,+and it spits out one or more properly-spelled words in order+of likelihood of similarity.++Thimk is structured as a command-line interface to its+`spelling-suggest` library, originally split out by Greg+Weber. You can use this library for other applications+also. There is sufficient Haddock to work out how to use+it. It is packaged on Hackage as `spelling-suggest`.++There is little documentation of the thimk command as-of+yet, but the usage message from the program should tell+everything needed to get started with it.++The idea and name for thimk came from an old program that+used to hang around Reed College, probably written by Graham+Ross and now apparently lost in the mists of time.  See this+[Usenet+post](http://groups.google.com/group/net.sources/msg/8856593862fe22bd)+for the one very vague reference I've found on the web (in+the SEE ALSO section of the referenced manpage). I+originally re-implemented thimk in [Nickle](http://nickle.org) some years ago,+but that implementation has been slow, clunky, and+non-portable.++The current implementation is a bit more sophisticated+than I recall the original being. By+default it uses a prefilter that discards words with+large edit distances from the target, then filters words+with a different phonetic code than the target, then+presents the top result sorted by edit distance.++The Soundex and Phonix phonetic codes are designed for+names, but seem to work about the same with other words.+I follow the common practice of not truncating the codes+for greater precision, although Phonix does truncate its+final "sound" for greater recall.++The latest change to the implementation is an addition+of an optional precompiled SQlite database of phonetic+codes for the entire dictionary, created with+"thimk-makedb".  This greatly speeds lookup, permitting+reasonable performance on enormous dictionaries.++Building thimk and spelling-suggest requires my `parseargs`+and `phonetic-code` packages from hackage, as well as+`edit-distance` and+[sqlite-0.5.1](http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/sqlite)+or newer if you want to build and use the optional phonetic+codes database. It is probably easiest to build using cabal-install,+which should take care of most everything for you.++--Bart Massey 2012-08-26
