custom medical dictionary
posted

Is is possible to build a custom dictionary for the xamSpellChecker? Our use case is medical terminology. I did note that a user can add custom words, but we would need a way to build a common dictionary to deploy. The included .dict files are binary. I know this can be done with the WinForms spell checker using a text file, but would prefer not to do interop (in our WPF 4 app).

[addendum] After doing a little more homework it looks like you use the Keyoti RapidSpell engine.  Can we integrate their medical dictionary as is, or would that require some custom coding?

    Hi,

    You can provide a text file by assigning it as a UserDictionary (setting the UserDictionaryUri property). It will be used in conjunction with any Dictionary (.dict) file you provided (setting the DictionaryUri property), or with the default (English) dictionary if you didn't provide any .dict file.

    The other option (providing external medical dictionary) should also work if it's a valid .dict or .txt file.

     

    Hope this helps,
