|
This space is aimed at helping people with getting familiarized with Polish, Turkish, Hungarian, Serbian (both Latin and Cyrillic based), Croatian and Bosniak spelling system. |
|
These languages use a modified Latin script with a lot of diacritic marks and digraphs, thus making them difficult for non-native speakers to pronounce or read the words |
|
properly. This space offers simplified spelling of words/sentence in the said languages. More languages are on the pipeline. |
|
|
|
For example, the Polish word Jarosław, an English speaker who isn't familiar with Polish orthography will pronounce it as Jaroslav, while its actual Polish pronunciation |
|
is Yaroswav. Similary, the city of Przemyśl should be pronounced as Pzhemyshl, even though its not evident to an English speaker. |
|
|
|
The approach for transliterating Polish language taken in this space is converting Polish character combinations to Cyrillic equivalents, which are single characters, thus |
|
simplifying our task greately. |
|
|
|
Features added as of now:- |
|
- Polish, Turkish, Hungarian, Serbo-Croatian-Bosnian language added. |
|
- Option for the user to choose any of the 3-4 examples available and pass it as input to the model. |
|
- Option for the user to generate a random but coherent sentence and pass it as input to the model. Acts as a nice playground for the user. |
