We offer a Finnish spell checker for Emacs. The
existing ispell command is based on a list of words.
For this reason, it is not possible to arrive at a
satisfactory spell checker for Finnish, since it is a
language with a rich inflectional system. Now, Lanser
Data Oy in Helsinki, Finland, has released its
morphological engine with a Finnish lexicon with an
installation code for emacs. This ispell replacement
can be used with the regular ispell commands. The
Lanser Speller code is distributed on a CD-rom, and a
single user license costs EUR 33,64 (FIM 200) +
pp. Please consult http://www.lanser.fi for further
information.

Tarjoamme suomenkielisen oikolukusanakirjan emacsiin.
Helsinkiläinen Lanser Data Oy on asentanut ohjelmansa
Lanser Speller toimimaan emacsin yhteydessä. Tätä
ispellin korvaavaa ohjelmaa voi käyttää tavallisten
ispellin komentojen avulla. Lanser Spellerin saa
CD-romilla ja yhden käyttäjän lisenssi maksaa EUR 33.64
(FIM 200) + postikulut. Käy katsomassa lisätietoa
