A simple accessible command line interface to the hunspell library.

Most of my time I am using orca, on a gnome-terminal. As {a|i|hun}spell all mark the miss-spelled word in reverse video (which isn't accessible to orca), as well as requiring a large amount of cursor keys, to review the word suggestions, it was decided to write a simple accessible interface for one of the existing spell checkers.

Accspell currently uses hunspell as the backend, a possible enhancement would be to enable the user to choose between hunspell and aspell.

The current interface is as follows: $ ./accspell -c <lt>filename<gt> <miss-spelled word> corrections: [correction1, correction2 ...] (c,q,0,..)?

Where:

• c: will show the context that contains the error,
• q: quit
• 0: skip to the next miss-spelled word
• 1..n: replace the miss-spelled word with suggestion n

You can check out a copy of Accspell using the following command:

$ git clone git://fog.cs.bath.ac.uk/Accspell
