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?
There are definitely free dictionary files, so you don’t need to make one yourself!
A good starting point is looking at a Java SE implementation of a spell checker, such as Jazzy on Sourceforge. It has dictionary files included in the project, and by inspecting the code you can get an idea of how to integrate it into your own J2ME app.
Your major challenge will be to be able to search the dictionary in an efficient manner using J2ME since it can be slow in comparison to its desktop coutnerpart.
