Aspell 0.60.6
Free and open source spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell more>> Free and open source spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell
Aspell can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker. Its main feature is that it does a superior job of suggesting possible replacements for a misspelled word than just about any other spell checker out there for the English language.
Unlike Ispell, Aspell is also able to easily check documents in UTF-8 without having to use a special dictionary. Aspell will also do its best to respect the current locale setting.
Other advantages over Ispell include support for using multiple dictionaries at once and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once.
scspell 0.1.0
A conservative interactive spell checker for source code more>> A conservative interactive spell checker for source code
scspell is an open source and interactive spell checker tool for source code. When applied to code written in most popular programming languages while using typical naming conventions, scspell will usually catch many errors without an annoying false positive rate.
scspell does not try to be particularly smart--rather, it does the simplest thing that can possibly work:
- All alphanumeric strings (strings of letters, numbers, and underscores) are spell-checked tokens.
- Each token is split into one or more subtokens. Underscores and digits always divide tokens, and capital letters will begin new subtokens. In other words, some_variable and someVariable will both generate the subtoken list {some, variable}.
- All subtokens longer than three characters are matched against a set of dictionaries, and a match failure prompts the user for action. When matching against the included English dictionary, prefix matching is employed; this choice permits the use of truncated words like dict as valid subtokens.
When applied to code written in most popular programming languages while using typical naming conventions, this algorithm will usually catch many errors without an annoying false positive rate.
In an effort to catch more spelling errors, scspell is able to check each file against a set of dictionary words selected specifically for that file. Up to three different sub-dictionaries may be searched for any given file:
- A natural language dictionary. (scspell provides an American English dictionary as the default.)
- A programming language-specific dictionary, intended to contain oddly-spelled keywords and APIs associated with that language. (scspell provides small default dictionaries for a number of popular programming languages.)
- A file-specific dictionary, intended to contain uncommon strings which are not likely to be found in more than a handful of unique files.
System requirements:
- Python

Spell-O-Gram is a word game that has a purpose and a twist more>>
Think of it as a flash card application with scrambled words. You prepare the Dictionary (word list) from which words are drawn at random and displayed scrambled.
Each game has five turns and each turn can be set for 30, 60 or 90 seconds. At the start of each turn you see a scrambled word and try to guess the unscrambled word. If you are correct, you score points and a new scrambled word is displayed. At the end of each turn, the unscrambled word is displayed. If, at the end of five turns, your score falls within the top ten scores, your name and score are entered in the High Scores table. Sound is supported.
A Help window is provided. Sound and turn time settings are saved between sessions. The Dictionary can be prepared using the Maintenance window or prepared by any text application and loaded using the "Load File" on the Maintenance window. A Dictionary file is a plain text file with one word per line and up to fifteen lowercase characters per word.
