Overview

This library provides a simple C API for partial and full string matching, it can provide predictive text functionality like T9(C) and similar. Dictionary is stored in a custom compressed file format (bzip2 comparable performance algorithm) which can optionally be further bzip2 compressed to achieve minimum space requirements.

See this 245239 words comparison:

• Plain ASCII (sorted) download [2.6M]
• Custom file format download [744K] (~3bytes/word, close to bzip2 performance!)
• Bzipped2 custom file format download [200K] (~1byte/word with optional bzip2 over previous one!)
