NAME

tkispell - Perl/Tk user interface for ispell.

SYNPOSIS

tkispell [filename]

DESCRIPTION

Tkispell is a Perl/Tk user interface to ispell.

With a file name as a command line argument, tkispell opens the file. Clicking the, "Select File...," button opens a Dialog box where the user can also select a file.

The, "Check," button begins the spell checking process. The listing at the top of the window shows unrecognized words, and the listing in the middle of the window shows the alternatives provided by ispell.

Clicking the, "Dismiss," button exits the program, after asking if the program should save the spell checked file and the replacement words in the user's personal dictionary.

The entry box at the lower right contains replacement text for misspelled words. It can either be a selection from the word guesses or entered by the user.

The buttons on the right side of the window are the options for replacing possibly misspelled words.

Accept

Accept the word and continue to the next word to be checked.

Add

Add the unknown word to the personal dictionary.

Replace

Replace the misspelled word.

Replace All

Replace all instances of the mispelled word.

PERSONAL DICTIONARY

Tkispell uses ispell's personal dictionary naming conventions: $HOME/.ispell_<language> or $HOME/.ispell_default if the $LANG environment variable is, "C," or is not set.
