Some time ago I wrote an English -> Gregg Shorthand converter: https://luckytoilet.wordpress.com/2010/07/09/an-introduction-to-gregg-shorthand-and-an-attempted-english-to-shorthand-converter/ https://luckytoilet.wordpress.com/2010/07/09/an-introduction...
It's not very good, but I'd like to see if anyone can make a better one. It's a shame that shorthand is lost to time and mostly replaced by technology like audio recorders.
- scribu 10y agoThat's pretty cool. If one were inclined to take it to the next level of absurd awesomeness, one could employ machine learning: 1. Feed all the examples from the Gregg dictionary into a neural network. 2. Generate all the possible positionings for a word. 3. Have the trained NN pick the best one. That said, I think doing the opposite conversion, from Gregg to English, would be marginally more useful (and a lot harder, I assume).
- anexprogrammer 10y agoNeat. I'm surprised to learn from your post that Unicode, which has space for everything, doesn't include shorthand.
