dictionary-en

English spelling dictionary in UTF-8.

Useful with hunspell, nodehun, nspell, Open Office, LibreOffice, Firefox and Thunderbird, or macOS.

Generated by dictionaries from wordlist.aspell.net.

Install

npm:

npm install dictionary-en

Use

var en = require('dictionary-en')

en(function (err, result) {
  console.log(err || result)
})

Yields:

{dic: <Buffer>, aff: <Buffer>}

Where dic is a Buffer for the dictionary file at index.dic (in UTF-8) and aff is a Buffer for the affix file at index.aff (in UTF-8).

Or directly load the files, using something like:

var path = require('path')
var base = require.resolve('dictionary-en')

fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, 'index.dic'), 'utf-8')
fs.readFileSync(path.join(base, 'index.aff'), 'utf-8')
