- libenchant -- Generic spell checking library
- Dom Lachowicz <cinamod@hotmail.com>
-
- libenchant is licensed under the terms of the GNU LGPL included in the
- file COPYING.LIB.
-
- The project aims to provide an efficient extensible abstraction for
- dealing with different spell checking libraries.
-
- Enchant is meant to provide a generic interface into various existing
- spell checking libaries. These include, but are not limited to:
- * Aspell/Pspell
- * Ispell
- * Hspell
- * Uspell
-
- Enchant is also meant to be used in a cross-platform (XP) environment. Part
- of this means that Enchant wants to limit its number of external dependencies
- to 0, or as close is as humanly possible. Also, any enchant consumer (i.e. a
- Word Processor) should not need to know about what backend providers Enchant
- knows about. In fact, Enchant shouldn't even need to know this information
- itself. To accomplish this, all of Enchant's providers are DLLs.
-
- Enchant is also meant to be used in a multi-user environment, such as Unix.
- It is preferable to have both a $USER and a $GLOBAL location for both
- provider DLLs and for dictionaries themselves, when possible. Enchant's DLL
- location algorithm takes this into account, and gives preference to the $USER
- DLLs, when found.
