Hi Sayamindu, I am working on Google Summer of Code project Listen and Spell ( http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Listen_and_Spell) uner the mentorship of Dafydd Harries. The is like a word game in which computer speaks the word using speech synthesis and user has to spell is correctly. For this I needed a dictionary with meanings and sample.
I found a wordnet (english) dictionary (http://wordnet.princeton.edu/) which, after removing alpha numeric words and all other data except the sample and definition, has served my purpose. It was about 200Mb which after striping down is now about 12 Mb and consisting about 77535 words in SQLite format. As dictionary is required by other applications also, I wonder if it is feasible to centralised a dictionary service in XO? You can see the dictionary working in the command line application of Listen and Spell (http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/listen-spell).
