Aspell should provide you with more variants of misspelled words than
ispell. But aspell doesn't have morphological module so it is quite
unusable for inflective languages like Czech -- you must pregenarate all
possible word morphemes into dictionary and you get very large file.
With such a big file aspell is very slow. But for languages like English
aspell may be more "intuitive" than ispell.
