Sure, Huffman was actually my first tought. But I couldn't think of a pratical display for the result of Huffman encoding that could be easily followed by a human looking at the screen. Since it's an optimal code, letters would not be grouped in alphabetical order. There is a compromise. There i

bitspeak is a small proof of concept application that allows writing text using only two commands (yes/no, 1/2, top/down etc.). There is a parallel between data compression algorithms and this sort of task, expressing a sentence in the minimal number of bits via compression also minimized the nu
