Default Accessing the iPhone's Dictionary

Hello everyone. This is my first post. I didn't see an introduction section so I'm assuming there isn't one so this will be my intro and first question.
My name is proggR and I'm an appleholic :P
Now that THAT'S out of the way...
I've been learning a bit about iPhone development lately and plan on making a few apps. Most apps I have planned I can think of I know conceptually how to do and just need to learn the syntax and setup the views and events. I came up with one today where I would need to access the dictionary that the iPhone uses for its autocorrect feature. I've stumbled across CFDictionary, CFMutableDictionary, NSDictionary and NSMutableDictionary on the Apple reference center but I don't know which one if any would help me or how I would go about searching for words based on input.
The input a lot of times won't make sense and I need to use the autocorrect feature from within my app. Not just from the keyboard but after they have entered input.
I don't know if any of this is making sense or if anyone can help but I thought I'd give it a try.
Thanks in advance for any help.

All *Dictionary don't have anything to do with a work-lookup dictionary or autocorrection. These are just data structures which allow you to store objects by key in memory.
