Hi,
I'd like to know on what basis aspell makes the suggestions. I know it
uses edit distance and double metaphone algorithms, but I'd like to know
the score/weight each word gets. I want to use this score to compare with
a list I have that gives the frequency of words used in certain files, and
come up with an algorithm that makes use of both the aspell score and the
frequency to make suggestions. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me
how the aspell algorithms assign scores to words and where I can get these
scores from.

Thanks in advance.

Mamatha
