Spell Checker, Hyphenation and Thesaurus: NHunspell

NHunspell brings the spell checking, hyphenation and thesaurus to the Microsoft® .NET Framework. NHunspell is C# library and wraps native libraries for Hunspell, Hyphen and MyThes. One design goal of this library and wrapper is to keep the source code of the included libraries as unmodified as possible. New versions of the base libraries can therefore easily adopted to NHunspell.

The integrated libraries are used in OpenOffice and they work with the dictionaries published on OpenOffice.org.

It was written by László Németh for spell checking of the Hungarian language and can be used with utf8 encoded unicode directories. Hunspell is based on MySpell and can use MySpell directories too.

Hunspell is the default spell checker of OpenOffice, Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox, Google Chrome and the Apple MAC OS/X operating system since version 10.6 "Snow Leopard". ...

    I love NHunspell (or the concept), but nowhere is it clear HOW to install and use external dictionary files. Specifically, where are the dictionary files installed - bin directory along with DLLs?

    You set to the path to the dictionaries, so they can be in with the DLL or you can set a complete path.
