hmm, there maybe performance issues as each time this is run there are 7 processes being created and destroyed. This could ramp up quite remarkably on a web server.

If 1 user checks a 100 word document that will involve 700 separate processes. If at the same time the web server is processing say 10 requests to check 10 documents of 100 words then that is 7000 processes, so you can see how that could be a problem.

One solution if performance does become an issue is to recommend that your users use firefox or safari as their browser as they both have integrated spell checking for text boxes.

In the meantime it may be worthwhile trying to find a more efficient solution depending on your specific situation and traffic statistics.

ENCHANT(1)						      Enchant Mini Help File							ENCHANT(1)

NAME

       Enchant - a spellchecker

SYNOPSIS

       enchant [-a] [-l] [-L] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       Enchant is an ispell-compatible spellchecker.

   OPTIONS
       -a     List alternatives.

       -l     List only the misspellings.

       -L     Include the line number in the output.

       -v     Prints the program's version.

ENCHANT ORDERING FILE

       Enchant has a global and a per-user ordering file named enchant.ordering.  It lets the user specify which spelling backend to use for indi-
       vidual languages in the case when you care which backend gets used. The global file is located in $(datadir)/enchant and the per-user  file
       is located in ~/.enchant.  The per-user file takes precedence, if found.

       The  ordering file takes the form language_tag:<comma-separated list of spelling backends>. I am currently aware of the following backends:
       aspell, myspell, ispell, uspell, hspell, voikko, and zemberek. '*' is used to mean "use this ordering for all languages, unless	instructed
       otherwise." For example:

       *:aspell,myspell,ispell
       en:aspell,myspell,ispell
       en_UK:myspell,aspell,ispell
       fr:myspell,ispell:aspell

DIRECTORIES IMPORTANT TO ENCHANT

       Unless  configured otherwise, Enchant's Myspell, Ispell, and Uspell backends will look for dictionaries in directories specific to Enchant,
       and will not use your system-wide installed dictionaries. This is for pragmatic reasons since many distributions install these dictionaries
       into different locations.

       Like the enchant.ordering file described above, Enchant looks in the global directory for these dictionaries and a per-user directory.  The
       per-user directory  takes  precedence  if  it  is  found.   Enchant  looks  for	Myspell  dictionaries  in  $(datadir)/enchant/myspell  and
       ~/.enchant/myspell.   Enchant  looks  for Ispell dictionaries in $(datadir)/enchant/ispell and ~/.enchant/ispell.  Enchant looks for Uspell
       dictionaries in $(datadir)/enchant/uspell and ~/.enchant/uspell.

       Packagers and users may wish to make symbolic links to the system-wide dictionary directories. Or, preferably, use the  --with-myspell-dir,
       --with-ispell-dir, and --with-uspell-dir 'configure' arguments.
