Re: ispell and flyspell

Have written the following function, but (ispell-region) is failing.
How can I make option 2 call (ispell-region) on the current paragraph.

Basically, option 1 will check the current word, option 2 will check the current
paragraph, and option 3 will check the whole buffer.

(defvar spelt-state nil)
(defun spelt ()
  "Corrects the spelling of text."
  (interactive)

  (pcase spelt-state
    (1 (flyspell-mode 0)
       (ispell-word)
       (message "%s" "Spell: Word")
       (setq spelt-state 2))

    (2 (ispell-region)
       (message "%s" "Spell: Region")
       (setq spelt-state 3))

    (3 (ispell-buffer)
       (message "%s" "Spell: Buffer")
       (setq spelt-state 0))

    (_ (flyspell-mode)
       (setq spelt-state 1))) )

(global-unset-key (kbd "M-v"))
(global-set-key (kbd "M-v") 'spelt)
