Aspellh

Aspellh is a fictional open-source spelling and text-processing tool created for illustrative purposes. It is designed to offer fast, accurate spell checking across multiple languages and to serve as a platform for language-oriented text processing features.

Key features of Aspellh include support for multiple languages through separate dictionaries, Unicode normalization, and affix-based morphological rules that enable recognition of inflected forms. Dictionaries use plain-text files with rule and word-list formats that resemble traditional spell-checking dictionaries, allowing users to add custom terms and proper nouns. The project emphasizes clean error reporting and configurable suggestion generation to help users select the most appropriate corrections.

Architecture and implementation focus on a command-line interface and a client library suitable for integration into editors and build workflows. Aspellh supports streaming input, batch processing, and a lightweight API for external tools. A plugin system is designed to let editors, IDEs, and other software hook into spelling checks and suggestions. The underlying algorithm is designed to be fast and memory-efficient, with language-specific heuristics available as optional refinements.

Development and licensing for the fictional project are described as MIT License-based, with an emphasis on community contributions. The project aims to be cross-platform, targeting Linux, Windows, and macOS, and to welcome contributions such as dictionaries for additional languages, bug reports, and compatibility improvements.

Usage scenarios for Aspellh include proofreading source code comments, documentation, and natural-language text. It can be used as a filter in pipelines, integrated into text editors via plugins, or employed in continuous integration workflows to catch typos before release. Documentation is focused on helping new contributors add dictionaries and extend language support.
