Its main feature is that it does a much better job of coming up -with possible suggestions than Ispell does. In fact recent tests shows -that it even does better than Microsoft Word 97's spell checker in some -cases. In addition it has both compile time and run time support for other -non English languages. Aspell is also a library however the recommend way -to use aspell is through the Pspell library as the actual interface to the -aspell library is constantly changing. +GNU Aspell is a Free and Open Source spell checker designed to eventually +replace Ispell. It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell +checker. Its main feature is that it does a much better job of coming up with +possible suggestions than just about any other spell checker out there for the +English language, including Ispell and Microsoft Word. It also has many other +technical enhancements over Ispell such as using shared memory for dictionaries +and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell +process is open at once. |
