Looking for Java spell checker library [closed]

Question

I am looking for an open source Java spell checking library which has dictionaries for at least the following languages: French, German, Spanish, and Czech. Any suggestion?

Answer 1

Another good library is JLanguageTool http://www.languagetool.org/usage/ It has a pretty simple api and does both spelling and grammar checking/suggestions.

JLanguageTool langTool = new JLanguageTool(Language.AMERICAN_ENGLISH); langTool.activateDefaultPatternRules();  List<RuleMatch> matches = langTool.check("Hitchhiker's Guide tot he Galaxy"); for (RuleMatch match : matches) {     System.out.println("Potential error at line " +         match.getEndLine() + ", column " +         match.getColumn() + ": " + match.getMessage());     System.out.println("Suggested correction: " +         match.getSuggestedReplacements()); } 

You can also use it to host your own spelling and grammar web service.

Answer 2

You should check out Jazzy its used in some high profile Java applications. Two problems with it:

1. It has not been updated since 2005.
2. There is only English dictionary on their SourceForge page.

There are some third party dictionaries floating around. I had one for French, last time I used jazzy.
