Tool for processing texts that contain a mixture of Latin and Greek characters

Greek Latin Demixer

Τhis is a tool for processing texts that contain a mixture of Latin and Greek characters. Ιt can be difficult to see the difference between certain characters and ΟCR software may mix up some letters. Ιn fact, in this paragraph there is a tau, an omicron, and two iotas mixed in with the Latin characters.

How to Use

Enter text that contains a mixture of Greek and Latin characters in the text box and press Go!. This takes you to a page that shows you the Latin characters in blue and the Greek characters in red.

Click on one of the words. On the left-hand side of the screen there are three sections: Latin, Greek, and Custom. The Latin section shows what the word would look like if all characters were replaced with Latin characters. The Greek section shows what it would look like if replaced with Greek characters. For example, aε would be ae in the Latin section and αε in the Greek section.

Clicking the Latin or Greek button will insert the respective suggestion.

The Custom section allows any input. Clicking the Custom button will insert the text in the Custom input.

greek-latin-demixer's Issues

Reorganize application into component directories

Instead of src/Whatever.js we should have src/Whatever/Whatever.js and src/Whatever/index.js. The content of Whatever.js should be the same. index.js should have the following content:

import Whatever from './Whatever';

export default Whatever;

Option to go to the next mixed Greek/Latin word

Add a button that goes to the next word with mixed Greek and Latin characters. This would be helpful for users who enter a large text because it would allow them to fix any errors without visiting every single word.

Add toggle for line wrapping

Add some kind of toggle to turn line wrapping on or off. I think it makes sense to have an "Advanced Options" collapsable menu underneath "Copy to Clipboard" and to put it in there.

Add tests

Add some tests. See perseids-project/lsj-js@cc5cc17 for an example of how we added tests in a similar project.

Add save file button

Currently, the only way to get the output is to click "Copy to Clipboard" and then to paste the text in a text file. It could be useful for users who have large amounts of text to be able to save the file to their desktop.

I'm not sure the best design for this. I don't want the left panel to be too cluttered. Maybe this could be implemented in the "Advanced Options" dropdown to be implemented in #10

Add linter

Add a linter using the same settings as https://github.com/perseids-project/lsj-js
