An Objective-C Wrapper for Private Dictionary Services on Mac OS X
This library accesses private OS X APIs, making it unsuitable for apps submitted to the App Store.
This is a fork of the original DictionaryKit. Here's a list of some notable things that have changed:
- Added/modified type information for a better Swift interop experience
- Swapped the API to use dictionary identifiers instead of names
- Added some additional QOL methods for making certain tasks easier/faster
#import "DictionaryKit.h" TTTDictionary *dictionary = [TTTDictionary dictionaryWithIdentifier:DCSDictionaryApple]; NSLog(@"%@\n", dictionary.name); NSString *term = @"apple"; for (TTTDictionaryEntry *entry in [dictionary entriesForSearchTerm:term]) { NSLog(@"%@", entry.text); }These are the known dictionary options, which may or may not be available on all systems.
