Thanks for the reply! The plugin opstion sounds like an interesting idea. I would like to explore that. I will contact you by mail :)<br /><br /><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto" class="gmail_attr">torsdag den 16. marts 2023 kl. 16.22.06 UTC+1 skrev ghedlund:<br/></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0 0 0 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

<div>As my dictionary is in development, ideally I would like

automated way, and I would also like to get feedback on missing
words so I can add them to the dictionary.</div>

<div>Do you have technical solutions for connecting Phon to an

</div><div><p>We have never really considered this approach as we have been
developing Phon as an offline application (aside from automatic

to load dictionary files from an online resource, latency and
connection issues have not been fully considered and may cause
unexpected issues in the application. </p>
<p>Custom dictionary types may be added to the application using a
plugin. The basic Idea would be to implement
<a href="https://www.phon.ca/apidocs/ca/phon/ipadictionary/spi/IPADictionarySPI.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=da&q=https://www.phon.ca/apidocs/ca/phon/ipadictionary/spi/IPADictionarySPI.html&source=gmail&ust=1679416742320000&usg=AOvVaw1Nr_6LOXxssWxyYhmsus9M">https://www.phon.ca/apidocs/ca/phon/ipadictionary/spi/IPADictionarySPI.html</a>
so that the lookup function calls your online API and returns a
list of ipa strings for the given orthography. You would also
need to create your own
<a href="https://www.phon.ca/apidocs/ca/phon/ipadictionary/DictionaryProvider.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=da&q=https://www.phon.ca/apidocs/ca/phon/ipadictionary/DictionaryProvider.html&source=gmail&ust=1679416742320000&usg=AOvVaw0zc-znkYZ8RZwKjIBZpofo">https://www.phon.ca/apidocs/ca/phon/ipadictionary/DictionaryProvider.html</a>
which will create an instance of
<a href="https://www.phon.ca/apidocs/ca/phon/ipadictionary/IPADictionary.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=da&q=https://www.phon.ca/apidocs/ca/phon/ipadictionary/IPADictionary.html&source=gmail&ust=1679416742320000&usg=AOvVaw0FVA2dkX0vW8uLkULGhK9T">https://www.phon.ca/apidocs/ca/phon/ipadictionary/IPADictionary.html</a>
that uses your custom SPI. Finally place the fully qualified name
of the dictionary provider class in a file named
META-INF/services/ca.phon.ipadictionary.DictionaryProvider.<br>
</p>
<p>If you wish to go this route please contact my personal email and
I will help with setting up the Java project.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
