Subject: Testing validity of a word
Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2023 00:21:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0iMfp4ZIF6AbexWeuBv10ON9NQqnHhsYhLbUaqzCte_f2yasnqcZbnZuHiCmWYiLZP_1DdWvaWLBlX0np-1eKeg-RUeySDbv8rya570hG9M=@proton.me> (raw)


I want to test whether a word is valid. Is there a package in Emacs for dictionary word lookup ?

Have constructed something like this, but of course the function lookup-word does not exist.

(defun is-valid-word (word)
  "Check if the WORD is valid using the Emacs dictionary."
  (let ((dict-info (lookup-word word)))
    (if (plist-get dict-info :found)
        t ; The word is valid.
      nil))) ; The word is not valid.

Is there a package in Emacs for dictionary word lookup ?
