What is the best spell checking library for C#?

Question

What's the best spell checking library for C# / .net?

(This will be web-based, so the built in spell check for WPF won't work.)

Solution 1

I've made a .NET version (wrapper) of the Open Office / Google Chrome ... spell checker Hunspell. It is called NHunspell and can be used with C#/ VB / .... The Open Office hyphenator "Hyphen" is also included. All Open Office dictionaries work. It is free (open source LGPL / MPL licensed).

Solution 2

I have used Aspell.net before with some success.

Solution 3

I have used NetSpell in the past with success. http://sourceforge.net/projects/netspell/

Solution 4

There is a aspell .net wrapper.

http://aspell-net.sourceforge.net/

Solution 5

For a custom solution I created a Web Service which then wrapped the WPF libraries. This gives the ability to use the built-in spell checking with ASP.NET applications/web sites by simply calling the Web Service.

An easy to follow and basic idea for the wrapping can be found here:

Just tried this one, it seems to work pretty well for very basic usage.

Jason Jackson or @blue_fenix, can you please show a snippet or point out what I'm missing in NetSpell? stackoverflow.com/questions/11751263/netspell-spellchecker

For another try ASPNetSpell - aspnetspell.com

I've used this library in a recent project and it works well. Biggest issue seems to be the Open Office dictionaries are not very good. Lots of word misses and bad matches it seems.

GPL for spell checking?
