+%description
+Hspell is a Hebrew SPELLer . It currently provides a mostly spell-like 
+interface (gives the list of wrong words in the input text), but can also 
+suggest corrections (-c). It also provides a true (yet incomplete) 
+morphological analizer (-l), that prints all known meanings of a Hebrew 
+string.
+
+Note: it is a fully working Hebrew spellchecker, not a toy release. On typical
+documents it should recognize the majority of correct words. However, users
+of this release must take into account that it still will not recognize *all*
+the correct words; The dictionary is still admittedly not complete, and this
+situation will continue to improve in the next releases. On the other hand, 
+barring bugs Hspell should not recognize incorrect words - extreme attention
+has been given to the correctness and consistency of the dictionary.

+רבות אינן מוכרות והן מדווחות כשגיאות. הקפדנו מאוד על-מנת שמילים שהיא *כן* מכירה
+יאויתו נכונה על-פי כללי האקדמיה העברית לכתיב חסר ניקוד )"כתיב מלא"(.  כמו כן,
+Hspell מספק (-l) מנתח מורפולוגי אמתי (אם-כי לא שלם) אשר מדפיס את כל המשמעויות
+האפשריות של מחרוזת אותיות עברית.
