## Description
Fin Spell is an experimental Finnish spellchecking add-on for Firefox. It tries
to closely emulate the built-in spellchecking feature. This project was started,
because the old Finnish spellchecking add-on, Mozvoikko, is a XUL add-on and
they were deprecated, and Hunspell or MySpell formatted dictionaries aren't well
suited for Finnish.
This add-on is based on libvoikko, like the old Mozvoikko.
## Limitations
* Many elements that function like a textarea doesn't work at all or the highlighting is off.
* Users can't add new words to be used with libvoikko, the add-on must be upgraded to use a new
dictionary, but users can now add words to be used as wordlist.
* Writing fast or a longer piece of text can start lagging.
## Compiling libvoikko
I did this on Ubuntu 19.04. You can copy these commands all at once to the
terminal.
```
# Get emsdk, I couldn't compile with the latest version.
git clone https://github.com/juj/emsdk.git
cd emsdk
./emsdk update-tags
./emsdk install sdk-fastcomp-1.38.30-64bit
./emsdk activate sdk-fastcomp-1.38.30-64bit
source ./emsdk_env.sh
cd ..
# Libvoikko. I used version rel-libvoikko-4.3
git clone https://github.com/voikko/corevoikko
cd corevoikko/libvoikko
git checkout rel-libvoikko-4.3
# Get the dictionary.

# Needs automake, autoconf and pkg-config packages.
# Install libtool if you get error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL.
# You might need to install libtinfo5 and openjdk-X-jdk also.
./autogen.sh
js/configure.sh
sh js/build.sh preload
# libvoikko.data, libvoikko_api.js, libvoikko.js and libvoikko.wasm which
# are used in this add-on are in js/.
```
