I'm not sure what you mean by "can't find".

| You might be interested in using a different spell checker. In
| particular, Aspell is a fairly new replacement for much of Ispell’s
| functionality. Fortunately, using Aspell with Emacs is very easy:
|
| (setq ispell-program-name "aspell")
|
| (Aspell has an Ispell-emulation mode, so it behaves like ispell.el
| expects.)
|
| For lots more information on Aspell, see the Aspell website:
|
| * http://aspell.net/
|
| Compared with Ispell, Aspell is much better at coming up with suggested
| spellings, and at putting them in likely order. This is particularly
| useful when used with flyspell-auto-correct-previous-word, where you can
| iterate through suggested spellings – it’s much more useful when the
| correct spelling is near the head of the list.
|
| The problem with using aspell with flyspell is that in its default mode,
| it it a lot slower than ispell. Fortunately, you can tell it to speed
| up, though this reduces somewhat the quality of its suggestions. So try
| this:
|
| (setq ispell-program-name "aspell") (setq ispell-extra-args
| '("--sug-mode=ultra"))
|
| According to the aspell documentation, “ultra” is the fastest mode,
| which is still twice as slow as ispell; but I don’t notice the
| difference from ispell on my machine. If your machine is fast enough, a
| better option might be to try “fast” mode, which is twice as slow as
| “ultra”, but more accurate. The “normal” mode, which is the aspell
| default, is even more accurate, but is reportedly 10 times slower than
| “fast” mode, and on my machine it makes editing and motion around the
| buffer noticeably sluggish when in flyspell-mode. YMMV, depending on how
| fast your machine is, and how big your word-lists are.
