(JavaScript, Node.js) A program to check a text file to see if you've accidentally used a homonym of the word you intended to use. (e.g. there / their / they're; you're / your)
I've had this app idea in mind for awhile now. Homonyms are easy to gloss over, and spellcheckers don't always identify improper word use. I wanted to create an app in which the user makes an active choice in looking at the word in a smaller context and determining if it makes sense within that sentence.
Currently there are only two sets of homonyms in the dictionary, but I have plans to expand and improve the app in the future.
To use the app, clone it from GitHub, install packages with npm install on the command line, and add a .txt file with text for review to the /input folder. use the following in the command line to run the app:
node index.js YOURFILENAME.txt
There is a file titled testing.txt already in the input folder. Once you run the app, the revised file will be written to a new text file with the same name in the /output folder.
Right now the app will only work on one set of homonyms at a time, but after it is finished you'll be given the option to re-run the app, at which point the other set currently in the dictionary can be used.
