Good alternative for ASpell?

Is there any good alternative to ASpell? It's nice open source, but haven't been updated for a while. The performance is not too good and I am having trouble creating a custom worklist with non-alpha characters.

+5  A: 

Hunspell. It's what Firefox uses for its spellchecker.

A: 

There is also Ispell, might not be faster or better maintained, but it supports international characters. I don't know how it compares to Hunspell.
