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.

              Tmispell  should  understand all the options that Ispell does. For more information
