Description

An interactive spell-checking program for Unix-style systems. It checks text against dictionaries and helps writers or scripts identify spelling mistakes in plain-text files.

Use it for simple terminal-based proofreading or as a backend for older tools. It is dictionary-based, so accuracy depends on the installed language dictionaries and project vocabulary.
