[openlp-dev] Replacement for Pyenchant

[Tomas Groth]

Hi,

Hunspell for Windows can be downloaded from
https://github.com/gromnitsky/hunspell-windows/releases
I'm guessing it can be installed anywhere since it is a zip-bundle.

Regarding pyenchant see my comments inline below.

Our (OpenLP developers) main problem at the moment is lack of resources, so
taking on new projects is not an option for most of us. But of course I
cannot speak for you, so if you feel you have time and energy to help
maintain pyenchant, you will be most welcome!

As far as I understand the webengine spellchecker only work with text
written a webpage renderer by webengine - it will not work for text editing
in normal Qt widgets.

Best regards,
