So probably support is missing or > incorrect in this area. =E2=80=8BWhat I wonder is why Speck is not so popular, it seems not so many= people use it or even know about it. What do others use for spell checking? Flyspell? Personally, I have to admit that my experiences with Flyspell are terrible as it is extremely slow and continuously stutters Emacs. Even `flyspell-lazy' does not help. On the other hand, Speck seems to be working truly (or almost truly) asynchronously and therefore I experience no stutters or slowdowns. By the way, do you have any recipe to teach Speck to spell check only text in TeX files (i.e. skip commands)? Regards, Alexander
