NAME

       tmispell - ispell wrapper which uses Voikko for spell-checking

SYNOPSIS

       tmispell [-F config_file] [ispell_options] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Tmispell  is  an  ispell(1)  wrapper  which  uses Voikko spell-checking
       system to do the actual spell-checking for Finnish language.

       What makes Tmispell very useful  is  that  many  programs  (e.g.  email
       clients  and  word  processors)  use  Ispell  for spell-checking. Since
       Tmispell is a transparent wrapper for Ispell, other programs that would
       normally  use  Ispell  will  automatically  use Tmispell (and therefore
       Voikko) without any changes needed. Additionally, Tmispell is  able  to
       launch  the  real  Ispell  if  Tmispell  does  not support the selected
       language. It is not  necessary  to  have  the  real  Ispell  installed,
       though.  Tmispell  works  fine without it, but currently Finnish is the
       only supported language then.

       Tmispell can be used from command line exactly like Ispell. If Tmispell
       is  correctly installed, the command “ispell” actually starts Tmispell.
       It can be used to spell-check any text file(s) given  as  command  line
       parameter.  If  a  text  file  is given, Tmispell starts in interactive
       mode. Press “?” to get help on available commands in interactive  mode.

OPTIONS

       -F config_file
              Use  the  configuration  file config_file instead of the default
              /etc/tmispell.conf.

       ispell_options
              Tmispell should understand all the options that Ispell does. For
              more information about Ispell’s options, see ispell(1).

FILES

       /etc/tmispell.conf
