I have some of the same complaints about flyspell, so I want to see if
I like speck-mode better.
I can't get speck-mode to spell check for me. I had some deliberately
misspelled words, and ran speck-region and speck-line so that it
should have found them. speck-line complained about no "speck
process", so maybe I still have more stuff to set up. It also didn't
find anything when I initially turned on speck-mode. I haven't put
much effort in, though.
