Support This Project January 6, 2011 A new version of SCOWL, corresponding Aspell and Hunspell dictionaries, and VarC on is now available. These are bug fix releases. December 28, 2010 A new version of SCOWL, corresponding Aspell and Hunspell dictionaries, and VarC on is now available. The biggest changes are greatly improved Canadian and Briti sh wordlists due to a massive effort to verify the variant information in VarCon against authoritative sources. The American wordlist has also been improved. Older News Packaged by Me "tar.gz" files has Unix EOL charters and "zip" files has DOS/Windows EOL charact ers. Older releases can be found here. SCOWL SCOWL (Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists) is a collection of word lists split up in various sizes, and other categories, intended to be suitable for use in spel l checkers. However, I am sure it will have numerous other uses as well. readme, tar.gz, zip (rev 7.1, 2.5 MB) (release notes & changelog) AGID AGID is an Automatically Generated Inflection Database from an insanely large wo rd list. My goal is for the non-questionable entries to be 100% accurate. readme, tar.gz, zip (rev 4, 0.9 MB) (release notes & changelog) VarCon VarCon (Variant Conversion Info) contains tables to convert between American, Br itish (both "ise" and "ize" spellings), and Canadian spellings and vocabulary as well as well as a table listing the equivalent forms of other variants. readme, tar.gz, zip (rev 5.1, 0.2 MB) (release notes & changelog) Part Of Speech Database The Part Of Speech Database is a combination of "Moby (tm) Part-of-Speech II" an d the WordNet database. readme, tar.gz, zip (1.2 MB) Unofficial Jargon File Word Lists The Unofficial Jargon File Word Lists is a collection of useful Word Lists creat ed from the Jargon file. readme, tar.gz Ispell English Word Lists This package contains the contents of the Ispell (ver 3.1.20) word list after be ing expand from there affix compressed form used by Ispell. readme, tar.gz, zip (0.4 MB) Unofficial Alternate 12 Dicts Package

The Unofficial Alternate 12 Dicts Package contains almost all the information in the official 12Dicts package but in a different format as well as a good deal o f additional information. However it is not meant as a replacement for the offic ial 12Dicts package. It simply offers the information in a different way. readme, readme-infl, tar.gz, zip (rev 4, 1.0 MB) (release notes & changelog) Official 12Dicts Package 12dicts is a collection of English word lists. It differs in several important w ays from most of the other free word lists you can download. The 12dicts lists are oriented towards common words. If you're looking for myria ds of archaic, scientific or computer jargon words, you should look elsewhere. The 12dicts lists have been rigorously checked for errors. (This is not to say t hat they are error-free, merely that enough care has been taken that errors are rather infrequent.) 12dicts contains a variety of lists, of different sizes and characteristics. One size does not fit all. Because each list has different characteristics, I do no t recommend combining them, except as noted below. Originally, 12dicts was composed of lists derived from a specific set of 12 sour ce dictionaries. In addition to these "classic" lists, 12dicts now includes list s derived from other sources. It would perhaps be appropriate to rename 12dicts to someth ing more generic, such as BAWL (Beale's Assorted Word Lists), but I ha ve not done so in order to preserve continuity. readme, 12dicts-5.0.zip (ver 5.0, 1419 KB) Spell Checking Dictionaries These wordslists are the basis for the official English dictionary in Aspell and the en_US and en_CA dictionary in Hunspell. Hunspell Dictionaries: en_US, en_CA, README (7.1-0, 2011-01-06) Aspell Dictionaries For additional English dictionaries see: misc.aspell.net/wiki/English_Dictionari es Additional Information Please submit all bug reports regarding these words lists or the speller diction aries to the Issue Tracker.
