Bug#367877: gnome-dictionary: the speller is missing

[Javier Kohen]

Package: gnome-utils
Version: 2.14.0-1
Severity: wishlist

The speller functionality of the dictionary was very useful when trying to figure out how to spell a word from its phonetic sound. It's sad that it was removed from this release without introducing a good alternative. It seems that upstream has the intention to restore this feature eventually, but sadly the dictionary is kind of crippled without it; usually you can browse a paper dictionary, but it's not even the case here.
