You +can request dictionaries from it, ask if a word is correctly spelled, get +corrections for a misspelled word, etc... + +Beneath the surface, Enchant is a whole lot more - and less - than that. +You'll see that Enchant isn't really a spell checking library at all. + +"What's that?" you ask. Well, Enchant doesn't try to do any of the work +itself. It's lazy, and requires backends to do most of its dirty work. Looking +closer, you'll see the Enchant is more-or-less a fancy wrapper around the +dlopen() system call. Enchant steps in to provide uniformity and conformity +on top of these libraries, and implement certain features that may be lacking +in any individual provider library. Everything should "just work" for any and +every definition of "just working." + +WWW: http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/ |
