Jazzy: The Java Open Source Spell Checker If you write Java programs, you can use Jazzy to add spell checking facilities to them. At this time, it comes with an English dictionary.
GNU Aspell is an open source spell checker that can be used either as a library which you can integrate in your programs or as a standalone speller. It is able to suggest misspelled words (supposedly better than any other spell checker around, or so their site claims), check documents in UTF-8, supports multiple dictionaries simultaneously, handles personal dictionaries, etc. The code is in C++, but you can access the library via its various language bindings as well, so that it is possible to use from Perl, PHP and Ruby. Dictionaries are available for a wide variety of languages, too many to list here. It runs on POSIX systems (Unix, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc). If you are looking for a Windows port, see elsewhere on this page.
GNU Aspell (Win32 version) is a port of the original GNU Aspell to Windows (doh!). Please see the description for Aspell elsewhere on this page for more details about Aspell in general. There are linkable libraries here that you can use with MinGW gcc (see the Free C/C++ Compilers page) and Microsoft Visual C/C++, a Delphi unit (see the Free Delphi Compilers, Free Pascal Compilers page), etc. Precompiled dictionaries for Breton, Catalan, Czech, Welsh, Danish, German, Greek, English, Esperanto, Spanish, Faroese, French, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Rusian, Slovak, Swedish and Ukranian are also available from the site. (If your language isn't listed here, you might want to check the main Aspell page for more dictionaries.)
Ispell is not strictly a library, but a standalone spell checker. However, since it comes with source code, you might want to take a look at it to get ideas for implementing your own spell checker (if that's your cup of tea). It comes with British and American English dictionaries, but there are dictionaries for numerous other languages available as well. It works on Unix type systems (including Linux), with ports for MSDOS, Windows and OS/2.
A Free Spell Checker with a Dictionary Editor Program This spell checker is designed to integrate with your MFC application (in other words, it's a Windows spell checker). It comes with a UK English dictionary as well as a dictionary editor.
LS Speller contains spell checker components for Delphi 5, 6 and 7 that allows you to add spell check facilities to your program. The spell checker works with ispell dictionaries as well as dictionaries that come with Microsoft Office 95 or 97.
