voikkospell - test program for Voikko spell checker
SYNOPSIS
voikkospell [options]
DESCRIPTION
voikkospell is a test program for spell checking functionality in libvoikko, library of Finnish language tools. It reads words from stdin
(one word on a line) and print them to stdout, adding "C: " in front of correct words and "W: " in front of incorrect words.
Common options of different Voikko test programs are listed in COMMON OPTIONS.
OPTIONS -m In addition to spelling result, prints morphological analysis info (A:) for recognized words.
-M Prints morphological analysis info (A:) for recognized words without displaying spelling result.
-t Prints only "C" or "W" instead of typical full output.
-tt Prints only misspelled words.
-s Prints suggestions (S:) for incorrectly spelled words.
-cn Set cache size parameter to n. -1 disables the cache and 0 is the default. For checking large amounts of unsorted text you may
want to set n to 5 to get better performance.
-j n Use n threads for spell checking. When more than one thread is used checking is performed using large internal buffers which is why
this mode should only be used for batch processing.
-xc Like voikkospell -s but output is printed on one line separated by character c without "C", "W" or "S" in front of the words. If c
is not defined words are separated by space and suggestions that have spaces in them are not printed.
-l Prints a list of available dictionary variants and exits. The first variant is the default to be used when no specific variant has
been requested.
ignore_nonwords=n
accept_first_uppercase=n
accept_extra_hyphens=n
accept_missing_hyphens=n
ocr_suggestions=n
Set the value of the specified boolean option. n can be either 0 (false) or 1 (true).
COMMON OPTIONS -p directory
(voikkospell, voikkohyphenate, voikkogc) Look from directory before the standard locations when searching for dictionary files.
-d variant
(voikkospell, voikkohyphenate, voikkogc) Use dictionary variant variant instead of the default dictionary variant. The variant must
be represented as a BCP 47 language tag.
ignore_dot=n
(voikkospell, voikkohyphenate)
ignore_numbers=n
(voikkospell, voikkohyphenate)
Set the value of the specified boolean option. n can be either 0 (false) or 1 (true).
-h, --help
Print a help message and exit.
--version
Print version numbers for libvoikko and the test tool.

SPELL(1) General Commands Manual SPELL(1)NAME
spell, spellin, spellout - find spelling errors
SYNOPSIS
spell [ option ] ... [ file ] ...
/usr/src/cmd/spell/spellin [ list ]
/usr/src/cmd/spell/spellout [ -d ] list
DESCRIPTION
Spell collects words from the named documents, and looks them up in a spelling list. Words that neither occur among nor are derivable (by
applying certain inflections, prefixes or suffixes) from words in the spelling list are printed on the standard output. If no files are
named, words are collected from the standard input.
Spell ignores most troff, tbl and eqn(1) constructions.
Under the -v option, all words not literally in the spelling list are printed, and plausible derivations from spelling list words are indi-
cated.
Under the -b option, British spelling is checked. Besides preferring centre, colour, speciality, travelled, etc., this option insists upon
-ise in words like standardise, Fowler and the OED to the contrary notwithstanding.
Under the -x option, every plausible stem is printed with `=' for each word.
The spelling list is based on many sources, and while more haphazard than an ordinary dictionary, is also more effective in respect to
proper names and popular technical words. Coverage of the specialized vocabularies of biology, medicine and chemistry is light.
Pertinent auxiliary files may be specified by name arguments, indicated below with their default settings. Copies of all output are accu-
mulated in the history file. The stop list filters out misspellings (e.g. thier=thy-y+ier) that would otherwise pass.
Two routines help maintain the hash lists used by spell. Both expect a list of words, one per line, from the standard input. Spellin adds
the words on the standard input to the preexisting list and places a new list on the standard output. If no list is specified, the new
list is created from scratch. Spellout looks up each word in the standard input and prints on the standard output those that are missing
from (or present on, with option -d) the hash list.

The spelling list's coverage is uneven; new installations will probably wish to monitor the output for several months to gather local addi-
tions.
British spelling was done by an American.
