<title>Spell-checking</title>
<p>
Several libraries are available to do spell-checking related tasks: Enchant
and gspell.
</p>
<p>
Enchant provides a low-level API. You can ask it if a word is misspelled,
or ask for suggestions for a misspelled word. On a higher level, gspell
integrates spell-checking for GTK text widgets (both <code>GtkEntry</code>
and <code>GtkTextView</code>).
</p>
<p>
In GNOME, those libraries get used in text-heavy applications like gedit (a
text editor) and Epiphany (a web browser, for text entry in web forms).
