(synopsis "Multi-backend spell-checking library wrapper")
(description
- "On the surface, Enchant appears to be a generic spell checking library.
-Looking closer, you'll see the Enchant is more-or-less a fancy wrapper around
-the dlopen() system call.
-
-Enchant steps in to provide uniformity and conformity on top of these libraries,
-and implement certain features that may be lacking in any individual provider
-library. Everything should \"just work\" for any and every definition of \"just
-working\".")
+ "Enchant is a library---and command-line program---that wraps a number of
+different spelling libraries and programs with a consistent interface. By
+using Enchant, you can use a wide range of spelling libraries, including some
+specialized for particular languages, without needing to program to each
+library's interface. If it's not convenient to call a C library, you can
+access most of Enchant's functionality via the @command{enchant} program,
+which communicates over a pipe, like Ispell, and is indeed
+Ispell-compatible.")
