Is there a spelling library or command line tool that can be installed to use on macOS command line Terminal app so I can speak check what I type into bash?
Solution 1:
You have look installed on your system. You can also grep /usr/share/dict/words. Even, curl with the dict protocol using the match key could be useful for spelling. Both emacs and vim have spellcheck features.
Solution 2:
