Create a braille translator through machine learning

2

Yesterday I was reading up a bit about machine learning which gave me this interesting idea. It sounds especially useful for back-translation. I'm pretty confident the problem of braille (back-)translation...

This can be documentation on the table format as well as documentation on braille codes. - Make the YAML files readable by converting them to HTML - Add comments to...

Special support for nocross in lou_trace

Print the hyphenation patterns that cause a nocross rule to be selected, and possibly also print the hyphenation patterns that cause a nocross rule to be suppressed.

Make longer multipass rules more specific

For example, consider this test: ```yaml table: | include tables/latinLetterDef6Dots.uti letter à 17 letter â 18 noback context ["a"]"b" @17 noback context ["a"]"bc" @18 tests: - - a - a...
