Aspell for Windows

The native Windows Aspell port is no longer supported. Instead, use Aspell in Windows via Windows Subsystem for Linux. Install Aspell in Windows Subsystem for Linux:

wsl apt install aspell

Then check spelling of a file like:

wsl aspell -c myfile.txt

Note: don’t include the prefix .\ in the file name, as that will not work in WSL.

Alernatively, MSYS2 can provide Aspell in Windows by installing packages

mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-aspell
mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-aspell-en
