Download the file to your computer through HTTP, a torrent, or create it yourself. Wiktionary is fairly large at 217MB, and the Simple English Wikipedia is 51MB.Īssuming you can somehow access the dumps, I probably won’t post them on this server because of the massive bandwidth usage, someone else could, the process for using it is very simple. One of the dumps that I’ve compiled is a subset of the English Wiktionary which makes a great lightweight (8MB) dictionary with over sixty five thousand words. A hundred megabytes worth of data in a month (with the Verizon deal, not to mention that it’s limited to two years) isn’t very much and it would be a pity for the sixteen gigabytes of SSD space on a Cr-48 to be wasted. This app is almost ideally suited for Chrome OS. At the current unoptimized state, the search results and the article shows up instantly within 100ms of a key press event (However, I admit it has yet to be tested on the actual English Wikipedia). It’s pretty awesome to imagine that a web page, HTML and Javascript is processing multiple gigabytes of data at real time. In fact, the FileSystem API only arrived with the release of Chrome 9 today.
