Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ispell is a spelling checker for Unix that supports most Western languages. It offers several interfaces, including a programmatic interface for use by editors such as emacs. Unlike GNU Aspell, ispell will only suggest corrections that are based on a Damerau-Levenshtein distance of 1; it will not attempt to guess more distant corrections based on English pronunciation rules. Ispell has a very long history that can be traced back to a program that was originally written in 1971 in PDP-10 Assembly language by R.E.Gorin, and later ported to the C programming language and expanded by many others. The generalized affix description system introduced by ispell has since been imitated by other spelling checkers such as MySpell.
