Spell Checker API
-
Does anyone know of an open source dictionary API. I only need support for English. I would like it to return a list of suggestions and also be able to determine the possible uses of a correctly spelled word (ie: noun, verb...).
There's at least one article here on CP which has a dictionary API. You might want to do a search here.

I've never noticed the safe images tag before when I copy a Google link. Although it does raise the question of what sort of NSFW images would be returned for a search of 'open source spelling checker'. Probably has something to do with naughty teachers. :-\

Netspell is really good. I have used it several times. Here is a CP article that covers it nicely: NetSpell - Spell Checker for .NET[^]

Funny. A 10 years old solution. And someone just gave it a 5-vote an hour ago. I'm sure a few words have been added to the English lingo since it's initial release. You know, like "NSAisWatchingUandMe".

If you have open source you probably got them from a NSFW person. Best go have a doctor look at them. You'll get some ointment to put on your open source.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Reminds me of a conversation I was having with my fiance about one of her co-workers and his habit of mispronunciation. "When discussing the product Dry-Clox, the 'L' is very important. One is a mastitis treatment for cows. The other probably requires a doctor's appointment."

Oh. Heh. That was me. I realized that I wanted to use it a few times before voting. :) I should have voted a few years ago. Better late than never. I suppose you are right. Plenty of words will be missing, but the dictionary is external to the DLL. So you can download a newer dictionary or add your own words ;). I think the Telerik spell control is based on the same algorithms (for example). I have been using this lib for mostly simple stuff. So the (lack of) freshness isn't as much of an issue.
