I had a desire to actually write some code. The result:
I needed a basic dictionary manager. The Dictionary Tool powertoy gets the job done, but I wanted something that could quickly check which words are already supported by the recogniser. I also didn't want to pay $US100 or more for a tool that only takes a couple of hours to write. My application has support for word providing 'plugins'. I've written a few to pull in words from textfiles, Outlook contacts, and .NET assemblies. I'm currently toying with the idea of importing type and member names to make inking code even better. The above screenshot shows the result of running the ".NET Assembly" plugin against mscorlib. This is after filtering which removes around 750 type/member names that are already supported by the recogniser. Update: In December 2005 I released the Tablet Dictionary Manager.
