Here are the main points. 

Before using the scripts, please open them and make sure that all the dependencies have been installed and that your LOCALE information is correctly written. You must have a plain-text file (even empty) at ~/.hunspell_en_US
This file will be used by hunspell as your personal (or user) dictionary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
minimax is a quicker way of using your hunspell spellchecker intended to process looong files.

The minimax script processes any odt file, usually in less than five seconds, to produce four txt files. You should mainly use the ...3.txt file. Others are here to allow you to check how the script is behaving.

The ...3.txt file is an alphabetical listing of all the words unknown and/or mispelled according to your hunspell dictionary. Typically, this listing will contain from 100 to 500 words (as a rule of thumb between one or two words by page). Once cleaned of any mispelled word, this listing can be batch inserted in your personal dictionary file using the dicomax script.

The ...5.txt file, provided for your information, is a listing a all elided forms with straight apostrophes.

dicomax can batch insert the ...3.txt file processed by minimax in your personal dictionary.

Check the man hunspell.The French version of these scripts contains also more detailed information.
