Well, no. Hunspell files are useful in themselves too. Hunspell can be 
used both as a stand-alone command-line tool or as a library. OpenOffice 
embeds Hunspell and can thus use your .dic and .aff files for spell 
checking, but those same files can be used in entirely different 
programs (e.g., Thunderbird) to the same purpose.



Is anybody
here who knows something about a description?


You fill find rather comprehensive information about Hunspell (including 
file format) in PDF files at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/hunspell/files/Hunspell/Documentation/

The code used by OpenOffice to interface with Hunspell is here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/main/lingucomponent/source/spellcheck/spell/

and the OpenOffice customizations to hunspell are here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/ext_libraries/hunspell/

  Andrea.

Desciption of the spell checker engine of OpenOffice

2014-09-05 Thread Maria Hartmann
Hi, 

I am looking for a description of the Hunspell engine or rather about how 
hunspell is implemented in OpenOffice. 
I am writing my bachelor thesis, wrote a spell checker for a swiss dialect and 
have to write 30 pages about the language and the program. So I thought it 
would be good to describe how hunspell works because the files I wrote for the 
spell checker have no funtionality by there own. Right?
Is anybody here who knows something about a description?

Best regards, 
Maria
