nlp - Dictionary of English Words for a J2ME app

Question

I intend to develop a J2ME application, that should be able to read words from the English Dictionary. How do I interface to/and store a Dictionary ? Will I have to create the Dictionary myself, by inserting words, or is there a third party Dictionary available with APIs?

Answer 1

There are several online dictionaries available, but if you want a quick, simple solution and you're running on a *NIX server, then try looking at /usr/share/dict/words, which will be on most servers. It's a list of English words, one per line.
