hunspell-ffi

A Ruby FFI interface to the Hunspell spelling checker

It should work wherever Ruby FFI works (tested on Ruby 1.9.2, 1.8.7, JRuby 1.5.1).

Installation

1. Install hunspell (OSX: 'brew install hunspell' Debian: 'apt-get install hunspell')
2. gem install hunspell-ffi

Usage

require 'hunspell-ffi'
dict = Hunspell.new("path/to/cakes.aff", "path/to/cakes.dic")
dict.spell("Baumkuchen")    # => true  same as #check
dict.spell("Bomcuken")      # => false
dict.suggest("Baumgurken")  # => ["Baumkuchen"]
dict.suggest("qwss43easd")  # => []
