An experimental library to rewrite Japanese texts using MeCab
JapaneseStyleChanger is an experimental .NET class library built on top of NMeCab and UniDic to rewrite and/or adjust styles of Japanese texts. It is currently in a very preliminary stage, though it might be usable for some purposes.
For the moment it can, in some extent,
- rewrite Japanese honorific style (敬体) sentences into plain style (常体) sentences,
- adjust spacing between words based on either of the two major style guidelines, and
- turn some characters to corresponding fullwidth (全角) version.
A simple demonstration program (written using Windows Forms) is included.
Have fun!
