The browser cannot execute a binary on your machine. At least not without
some heavy hackage. Security reasons. Would you want some h4x0r website
to have JavaScript that would start running files under /usr/sbin or
/usr/bin?
The above scheme will only work for CGI scripts. If you can build a CGI
wrapper around yor local dictionary and have it hosted on a web server on
your local machine, then you can do what Suresh suggested.

Homer: Nuh-uh. "It isn't filled until it's spilled."
