At the moment hunspell.org points at an article on Hunspell in Wikipedia. Please, let it point to hunspell.github.io

Firefox 3 was the first version with Hunspell support according to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319778; but explicitly mentioning that version on the About page is useless, and in current form even wrong (it looks as if version 3 is the only one that supports it, while the current version is 102.something).

I looked for a paper which explains how does hunspell works, but without any success. I would like to know how does hunspell works and especially how does it make suggestions ? Does it uses Levenshtein distance to look for the best suggestion ?

I would like to parse open office supporting hunspell formatted aff and dic files.

English aff and dic files can be downloaded from here for example : http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/english-dictionaries-apache-openoffice

I want to scan each line of the given .dic file and generate every possible word of the each line with the provided .aff file

How can i do that?

I have installed NHunspell framework but it does not have that feature : https://www.nuget.org/packages/NHunspell/

For example for the english language lets consider

make/UAGS
make can be make, made, makes, making etc

Now i need parser to give me all these combinations. How can i obtain them? Ty very much

So basically i want to scan each line of the dictionary and generate all possible words from the word of that line and i dont know how can i do that

I can also write my own parsers, but it seems to me rules are pretty complex and there are no detailed and easy documentation about this

Here what i want basically. The image explains very clearly

Giving analyze/ADSG, en.dic and en.aff file and obtaining all the following words

analyze, analyzes, analyzing, analyzed, reanalyze, reanalyzes, reanalyzing, reanalyzed

For example:

OSX
Homebrew Package Manager

1. Install homebrew
   2)brew install hunspell
   Note: Dictionary files (*.aff and *.dic) should be placed in ~/Library/Spelling/ or /Library/Spelling/. Homebrew itself provides no dictionaries for Hunspell, but you can download compatible dictionaries from other sources, such as https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries .
