Developer’s Description

By Anton Leuski

Configurable spell check service, multi-language.

cocoAspell is Mac OS X implementation of Aspell -- "A more intelligent Ispell" -- that is being developed by Kevin Atkinson. Here is a brief snippet of how Kevin describes Aspell on his web site:

Aspell is an Open Source spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell. Its main feature is that it does a much better job of coming up with possible suggestions than Ispell does. In fact recent tests shows that it even does better than Microsoft Word 97's spell checker or just about any other spell checker I have seen. It also has support for checking (La)TeX and Html files, and run time support for other non English languages.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />A wonderful and a must for many years. Updating to Snow Leopard is unclear to me as SL now supports direct spelling by adding files to /Library/Spelling, even if cocoAspell may be used as well, including prelast version.
Works OK for me -also on Intel Mac

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've had no trouble installing CocoAspell, on either my PowerMac G4 or on my new MacBook Pro (intel Core 2 duo). Previous versions have worked with mixed results, this one is definately a keeper. The only complication I came across was because of a broken dictionary file for the Dutch language, which is not the responsibility of tyhe CocoAspell developer, of course. BTW other variants of the Dutch dictionary compile OK. Just a suggestion: I guess a lot of people would appreciate an installer for dictionary files other than English, even though the manual installation is pretty straightforward.
Perfect for us who write in rare languages!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This version seems to bring back the problem (for UK users) of "cannot contact the spelling checker". But even when it works, it may offer 40 alternatives for each misspelt word, making it practically impossible to reach the rest of the menu. And do we really need nine UK English dictionaries? Less complexity, more usability please!
Fantastic....

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Finally a Mac spellchecker for my native language, superb, brilliant, excellent! It is a real pity that it will not work with pages of all programs, MS word I can understand but with pages ? >:~( C'mon Apple sort out the problem to allow extra dictionaries in pages, it now means that I have to run everything through TextEdit first to check the spelling. Great job from the developers though and thanks to all those people out there compiling the dictionaries. If I was religeous you would be saints!
Thanks!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Thanks, Thanks and Thanks... Did I said Thanks? For us who's language isn't directly supported by the system, thats an essential tool. Actually, I know many people that didn't upgraded to Tiger yet due to the lack of this great tool's compatibility...
1.4 works just fine in Panther!
