Comment (by seewhy):

 As there is no spell checking capability for QGIS users (editing
 attributes)  I have developed a plug-in, but it cannot work on Windows at
 present due to conflicts with DLLs used by GRASS.

 For pyenchant to work in Windows the following binaries are included (some
 of these appear to be older versions than those used by QGIS):

 libenchant-2.dll
 libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
 libglib-2.0-0.dll
 libgmodule-2.0-0.dll
 libgobject-2.0-0.dll
 libhunspell-1.6-0.dll
 libiconv-2.dll
 libintl-8.dll
 libp11-kit-0.dll
 libpcre-1.dll
 libpcre16-0.dll
 libpcre32-0.dll
 libpcrecpp-0.dll
 libpcreposix-0.dll
 libstdc++-6.dll
 libwinpthread-1.dll

 Pyenchant works in python 3.12 (tested in OSGeo4W shell).

 The spell checking engine associated is Enchant (which is available in
 mingw). Dictionaries include Hunspell - in the packaged version only
 English, but presumably additional dictionaries can be installed (they
 exist). Other flavours are compatible.

 If python bindings for qplaintextedit were exposed it would be possible to
 integrate the functions of my plug-in with attribute forms seamlessly. Or
 the class could potentially be ported to the core and then work across
 QGIS to modify the qplaintext widgets. But none of this can be unlocked
 without Enchant.
