Libvoikko is a library of free natural language processing tools. it aims to provide support for languages that are not well served by other existing free linguistic tools.

the library supports multiple backends, currently of which only malaga is enabled in this packaging:

- malaga: left associative grammar for describing the morphology of
finnish language.
- hfst (helsinki finite-state transducer technology): supports zhfst
speller archives for various languages.
- experimental backends: lttoolbox, vfst and vislcg3.
libvoikko provides spell checking, hyphenation, grammar checking and morphological analysis for finnish language. spell checking is supported for other languages through the hfst backend.

this package contains the shared library.
