- raphlinus 8y agoIt's not as easy as it looks, but probably can be done. The research I was doing was very much pure transducers, but with a couple of twists (the one I'm proudest of is alternating between forward and backward passes, which makes certain things like matra reordering much easier). There is some work in this space by Monotype as well.
