AlphaSpell V is fast spelling checker, which can quickly check an
entire document in a few moments, and which can also be used for
interactive spell checking within a text editor. It uses a compressed
dictionary format that permits quicker reading of its dictionaries, and it
gives you the power to create and customize dictionaries, as well as use
multiple dictionaries. It has four different ways for helping you find the
correct spelling of a word. It can use a SoundEx like algorithm for
matching words that sound alike; It can compare the edit distance between
words to help you correct typos; It can list words that match a wildcard
pattern; And it can list anagrams, which is useful for scrambled word
games.
AlphaSpell comes with a GUI for using it with XDME. In case you
want to create an AlphaSpell GUI for another text editor, the XDME GUI is
extensively documented, so that you can easily use it as a model. This
version of AlphaSpell is shareware. Registered users will receive a keyfile
that will work with this and later versions of AlphaSpell. Only a few
features are limited in the unregistered version, and spell checking itself
is unhindered. Sending money is not the only way you can register
AlphaSpell. Foreign language dictionaries, GUI's for other text editors,
and translations of the documentation will also serve as payment. I mean to
make the use of AlphaSpell widespread.
All in all, AlphaSpell V is a great improvement over AlphaSpell IV.
It uses a better compression format, its guessing is more sophisticated,
and it has many features absent in AlphaSpell IV.
