- The project aims to provide an efficient extensible abstraction
- for dealing with different spell checking libraries.
 
- Enchant is meant to provide a generic interface into various existing
- spell checking libaries. These include, but are not limited to:
-	* Aspell/Pspell (intends to replace Ispell)
-	* Ispell (old as sin, could be interpreted as a defacto standard)
-	* MySpell/Hunspell (an OOo project, also used by Mozilla)
-	* Uspell (primarily Yiddish, Hebrew, and Eastern European
-	  languages - hosted in AbiWord's CVS under the module uspell)
-	* Hspell (Hebrew)
-	* Zemberek (Turkish)
-	* Voikko (Finnish)
-	* AppleSpell (Mac OSX)

- Enchant is also meant to be used in a cross-platform (XP) environment.
- Part of this means that Enchant wants to limit its number of external
- dependencies to 0, or as close is as humanly possible. Also, any
- enchant consumer (i.e. a Word Processor) should not need to know
- about what backend providers Enchant knows about. In fact, Enchant
- shouldn't even need to know this information itself. To accomplish
- this, all of Enchant's providers are DLLs."
