Shalom everyone,

I have recently written a small gtk-perl program that allows adding nikud to
Hebrew text as follows:

0. A script is run that prepares a hebrew haser to nikud db by parsing all
text with nikud from the machon-mamre web site. This step creates a text
file containing the hebrew haser word as a key and a list of all nikud
combinations as a value. (A piece of trivia is that the word in the Tenach
with the most different ways of nikud is Dalet, Bet, Reish that has 22
different spellings).

1. The text is typed or copied into the program without nikud.

2. The nikud tool is activated this selects the first word of the text.

3. A set of buttons are created with all the different spellings of the
word. Pressing the button chooses that spelling and replaces the original
word.

That's it. My question is if there already exists a similar free program, or
if there is any interest  should clean it up and release it? I realize that
there are additional improvements that may be made that will use grammatical
rules to split prefixes from the indexed word, or e.g. use of hspell. It
would also be possible to create a freedb like internet site where all users
of the program can upload their indices...

Regards,
Dov
