Ispell can also handle languages other than English. Aspell is a spelling checker written by Kevin Atkinson. Its primary advantage is that it is better at making suggestions when a word is seriously misspelled. Its disadvantage is that the approximate-matching algorithm is specific to English. The current version of ispell is 3.2.06 .
Earlier versions are available in the same directory .
Ispell 3.1.18 has also been ported to the Commodore Amiga. You can retrieve either sources or binaries from the Washington University archives in St. Louis. Ispell comes with English dictionaries. For other languages, see the ispell dictionaries Web page. The latest version of ispell's emacs interface source can be gotten from Ken Stevens' ispell emacs interface home page.
