Because spell checking should be smart, not difficult.
This project is on hold until web-extensions exposes the native Hunspell implementation (and I have a bit of time an energy!), which will fix the memory consumption problems and make the whole thing a much simpler project. It will continue to live here for now but use with care.
Welcome to Multidict, your friendly neighbourhood open source language detecting spellchecker.

You can download me directly from the Firefox add-ons store here.
npm install from the project base directorynpm run build
This will bundle all required files into the /dist directory.
npm run serve
This will at first build all the files and then open a Firefox browser with some specific pages that
can be used for testing.
npm run publish
This will build files using web-ext build and package all source files into dist/sourcecode.zip
Make sure to bump version numbers inside package.json and manifest.json so that previous release zip
file is not overwritten.
npm run update-dicts
This will download all the latest available dictionaries from wooorm dictionaries.
The app depends on nspell, a JavaScript implementation of Hunspell, to provide spell checking.
The app depends on dictionaries downloaded from wooorm dictionaries which are themselves a
compilation of different dictionaries from different sources. They each have their own license.
