Software
matcheckI.pl, a perl program to implement Matcheck
The file is actually called 'matcheckI.txt'. After downloading it, change the extension to .pl.
Updated with much new functionality! Bug reports, comments, and suggestions welcome
(but no mockery of code, please).
For full info, type, at your command line, perl matcheckI.pl --man.
For a quick start to play around, download this partial lexicon file
(frequencies loosely based on the BNC) and
this targets file
(into the same folder as you download the matcheckI.pl file),
and at your command line type perl matcheckI.pl -l EngLexiconToy.txt -ta EngTargets.txt -theta 0.5.
Replace the lexicon with whatever language or frequency list you're interested in
(remember that you have to include in the lexicon all the bound morphs you want recognized)
and the targets with whatever words you're interested in.
