TMISPELL(1) General Commands Manual TMISPELL(1)
NAME
tmispell - ispell wrapper which uses Voikko for spell-checking
SYNOPSIS
tmispell [-F config_file] [ispell_options] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
Tmispell is an ispell(1) wrapper which uses Voikko spell-checking system
to do the actual spell-checking for Finnish language.
What makes Tmispell very useful is that many programs (e.g. email
clients and word processors) use Ispell for spell-checking. Since
Tmispell is a transparent wrapper for Ispell, other programs that would
normally use Ispell will automatically use Tmispell (and therefore
Voikko) without any changes needed. Additionally, Tmispell is able to
launch the real Ispell if Tmispell does not support the selected lan-
guage. It is not necessary to have the real Ispell installed, though.
Tmispell works fine without it, but currently Finnish is the only sup-
ported language then.
Tmispell can be used from command line exactly like Ispell. If Tmispell
is correctly installed, the command “ispell” actually starts Tmispell.
It can be used to spell-check any text file(s) given as command line pa-
rameter. If a text file is given, Tmispell starts in interactive mode.
