About:
Libspelling is a spellcheck library designed specifically for GTK 4 applications. It provides robust text checking capabilities using Hunspell dictionaries, enabling developers to easily integrate spellcheck features into text widgets. This library serves as the backend for the GNOME Text Editor and other GTK-based writing applications.
Key Features:
  • GTK 4 native integration
  • Hunspell dictionary support
  • Asynchronous spell checking
  • Multi-language capabilities
  • Easy widget integration
Use Cases:

Alternatives:
  • GtkSpell – Legacy GTK 2/3 spellcheck library, not compatible with GTK 4
  • Enchant – General spellcheck library, requires manual GTK integration
