NAME

       tmispell - ispell wrapper which uses Voikko for spell-checking

SYNOPSIS

       tmispell [-F config_file] [ispell_options] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Tmispell  is an ispell(1) wrapper which uses Voikko spell-checking system to do the actual spell-checking
       for Finnish language.

       What makes Tmispell very useful is that many programs (e.g. email clients and word processors) use Ispell
       for spell-checking. Since Tmispell is a  transparent  wrapper  for  Ispell,  other  programs  that  would
       normally  use  Ispell  will automatically use Tmispell (and therefore Voikko) without any changes needed.
       Additionally, Tmispell is able to launch the real Ispell  if  Tmispell  does  not  support  the  selected
       language.  It is not necessary to have the real Ispell installed, though. Tmispell works fine without it,
       but currently Finnish is the only supported language then.

       Tmispell can be used from command line exactly like Ispell.  If  Tmispell  is  correctly  installed,  the
       command  “ispell”  actually  starts  Tmispell.   It  can be used to spell-check any text file(s) given as
       command line parameter. If a text file is given, Tmispell starts in interactive mode. Press  “?”  to  get
       help on available commands in interactive mode.

OPTIONS

       ispell_options
              Tmispell  should  understand all the options that Ispell does. For more information about Ispell's
              options, see ispell(1).

       /etc/tmispell.conf
