I've wanted something like this for barcodes. My company depends on our users to enter in a 16 digit barcode correctly. It would be great if the 16 digit barcode can somehow be bi-directionally translated into a sentence (grammatically correct sentence would be even better). While this will probably take the user more keystrokes to type out, it should reduce entry errors.
- CodesInChaos 6y agoIf you drop the grammar requirement, you can easily use one of the many dictionaries made for this purpose (e.g. diceware or a bip39 wordlist which even has support for many languages). If you feel fancy, you could make it order independent or add error correcting codes to compensate for a limited number of mistakes at the cost of an extra word or two.
