Aspell package for R

Source (0.2-0)

This R package provides an interface to the aspell library for checking the spelling of words and documents. The library is part of the GNU software and provides a flexible framework for spelling with customized dictionaries, filters, and so on.
Documentation on aspell can be found at http://aspell.sourceforge.net. The source code, binaries and dictionaries for aspell are also available from there.

This package provides access to these library facilities from within R. One can check the spelling of words, obtain suggetsions for corrections, check an entire document sequentially customize the speller, maintain different spellers for different purposes, and add new words and provide corrections for the speller to use in the future.
