VoikkoSpellService - Spell-checking service for macOS

VoikkoSpellService is an open source spell-checking service for macOS.

VoikkoSpellService utilises the Voikko project's libvoikko and suomi-malaga libraries for spell- and grammar checking. Those are included in the binary package.

Supported Mac OS X versions:

• Mac OS X 12.0 (Monterey)
• or newer

The component includes binary for 64-bit targets.

Voikko projects homepage is at: http://voikko.puimula.org/
