PHP Spellchecker Library

 

PHP Spellchecker is a library providing a way to spellcheck multiple sources of text by many spellcheckers. The library provides an abstraction layer with a unified interface for various spellcheckers with support for the following out of the box:

• Aspell
• Hunspell
• Ispell
• PHP Pspell
• LanguageTools
• MultiSpellchecker

Here’s a quick example from the documentation using the Aspell spellchecker:

<?php
use PhpSpellcheck\SpellChecker\Aspell;

// if you made the default aspell installation on you local machine
$aspell = Aspell::create();

$misspellings = $aspell->check('mispell', ['en_US'], ['from_example']);

foreach ($misspellings as $misspelling) {
    $misspelling->getWord(); // 'mispell'
    $misspelling->getLineNumber(); // '1'
    $misspelling->getOffset(); // '0'
    $misspelling->getSuggestions(); // ['misspell', ...]
    $misspelling->getContext(); // ['from_example']
}

Here’s an example from the documentation for checking spelling in a file:

<?php
// spellchecking a file
$misspellings = $aspell->check(new File('path/to/file.txt'), ['en_US'], ['from_file']);
foreach ($misspellings as $misspelling) {
    $misspelling->getWord();
    $misspelling->getLineNumber();
    $misspelling->getOffset();
    $misspelling->getSuggestions();
    $misspelling->getContext();
}
