I don't know what library they use, but the Dasher project has a way of 
predicting what words to offer based on previous input, a bit like 
texting would. I believe Dasher is also open source.

open phone dictionary

2008-07-22 Thread Robin Paulson
does anyone know of any sources of open phone dictionaries? by which i
mean lists of words that predictive text can look up against? one of
the things i've been looking forward to doing on the neo is being able
to type a word - say whangerei, a town in new zealand - and have the
phone recognise it, so i don't have to type it in letter by letter.
also, people's names, big companies, etc. is there anything out there?

i suppose place names could be scraped from open street map if nothing
exists already, but that's only part of it

or would scraping wiktionary for article titles be a better source? it
seems to contain plenty of proper nouns
