<title>Spell-checking</title>

    Several libraries are available to do spell-checking related tasks: Enchant

    and gspell.

    Enchant provides a low-level API.  You can ask it if a word is misspelled,

    or ask for suggestions for a misspelled word.  On a higher level, gspell

    integrates spell-checking for GTK+ text widgets (both GtkEntry

    and GtkTextView).

    In GNOME, those libraries get used in text-heavy applications like gedit (a

    text editor) and Epiphany (a web browser, for text entry in web forms).
