The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Convert::Transcribe
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: Transcribe texts in natural languages.
userid: TWID (Thomas Widmann)
chapterid: 11 (String_Lang_Text_Proc)
communities:
Mentioned on c.l.p.m., but there were no follow-ups.
similar:
Convert::Translit
rationale:
The existing module Convert::Translit is more or less an extended
tr/// -- it performs a one-to-one mapping, but very efficiently.
Convert::Transcribe, on the other hand, is meant for transcription
of natural languages, where it is common to have rules such as
"transcribe Russian 'e' as 'ye' word-initially and after vowels, and
by 'e' in all other positions". It is rather slow, but convenient.
Convert::Transcribe creates Perl code based on the user's
transcription definition, and this code can then either be eval'ed
or passed to the user (thus enabling optimisation).
I believe the Convert:: namespace is appropriate as the
functionality of the two modules are so similar.
It is hoped it will be useful for people who need to transcribe
things but who would rather not write a series of Perl regexps
themselves.
