Hello @AmilaPriyankara, thanks for you report.

I haven't tested the lib on windows to be honest, so I'll try to blindly debug it with you.

In tinker, instead of

Could you try var_dump(iterator_to_array($response)))

Also when testing the command line directly, could you try echo 'mispell' | aspell --encoding=utf-8 -a --lang=en_US as it's what is actually executed in the background.

Let me know the output for both please.

Digging a little further, according to https://superuser.com/questions/1496150/configuring-aspell-to-support-utf-8-encoded-texts it seems like --encoding is only supported in aspell 0.60 which is not available on windows (your version is 0.50 which seems to be concording).

I'm unsure on how to circumvent the problem to support aspell usage for windows users right now. If you tried anything on your hand, let me know.
