That's not quite correct, OOo' spell checker is based on on MySpell (which 
again is based on Ispell).

If you want to return suggestions based on the word's context: that's 
currently not possible, as the OOo spell checker only "sees" a single word 
without context. It's planned to improve that (namely to implement a 
grammar checker API), but there's no roadmap for that to my knowledge.
