FFI::Aspell is an FFI binding for the Aspell library. It was mainly written as Raspell, a C binding for Aspell, is buggy and no longer maintained by the main author as of April 2012.
- FFI:
gem install ffi
- Aspell (
sudo pacman -S aspell
if you're on Arch Linux) - Dutch and Greek language packs for Aspell (only when testing the code)
Install the gem:
$ gem install ffi-aspell
Load it:
require 'ffi/aspell'
The primary class is FFI::Aspell::Speller
, this class can be used to check for
spelling errors and the like:
speller = FFI::Aspell::Speller.new('en_US')
if speller.correct?('cookie')
puts 'The word "cookie" is correct'
else
puts 'The word "cookie" is incorrect'
end
For more information see the YARD documentation.

installed as well. On Arch Linux this can be done by running

. - Install the gems:
bundle install
- Run the tests to see if everything is working:
rake test
- Hack away!
- FFI functions go in FFI::Aspell
- Attached function names should resemble the C function names as much as possible.
