Checking Mobile Phone Input in PHP

I have a system that accepts SMS texts (they contain a single word).

What I need to do is to check the incoming word for accuracy allowing for predictive texting alterations.
I imagine this can be done by some kind of lookup against a SMS dictionary, but I can't find any.

Also I need to find a way to ensure that the list of words that may be sent are not going to appear in the same list of potential SMS predictive alterations.

The incoming words have few constraints but I could possibly enforce a size limit of 7.
I have thought about using the levenshtein or similar_text functions but these may not be sound against the predictive text options.

Any ideas on best to do this?

The most popular predictive texting solutions are proprietary, and I don't think the kind of database you are talking about is publically available. Wikipedia

Have you seen this analysis of iTap and T9?
