- Mapping of 26 letters to a potentially new cursive.
- A tabular way to see it.
- Software to preview writing of the given text.
- Also anki deck for the first step of practicing.
Existing shorthands are not invented here. Also my potential usage is writing random own stuff and not recording somebody's speech. It has been entertaining regardless of utility.
- removes repetition (as in "m")
- minimizes complexity of curve to streamline every letter
- directly vertical strokes are only optional letter connectors
- five simplest base horizontal strokes
- five different modes of execution
- and one odd letter for the 26th letter of the alphabet
- have ruby and imagemagick installed
- to have only the cursive: $ rake say hello world
- to see the latin mapping too: $ rake show hello world
- check the file named after the text provided: 'hello world.png'
- I tested it on linux but I see no obvious causes of errors otherwise
These are random ideas I've not looked into.
- optimization to minimize vertical strokes
- optimization opportunity to address hand anatomy
- looking into mapping to vocal mechanics would be interesting
- using letter frequency could make the table less reconstructable than current more predictable mechanical mapping
- expanded "long hand" version for more distinct looking letters or just optimize mapping to get similarity in the first place
- optimize using NNs and reduction of recognition error given noise
- in actual execution width of letters is likely to be not monospaced and this means that mapping of alphabet could take that into account for certain rhytm (I think about vowels)
