konj

n. portmanteau of kana, conv(ert) and japanese

Convert between various Japanese scripts (hiragana, katakana, romaji)

current status

Basic conversion from romaji to hiragana, katakana

next steps

• handle capital letters in romaji input
• handle whitespace in romaji input
• handle punctuation: , and .
• output json (flag)
• make the program unix-pipe-able only
• code cleanup:
  • refactor generic transformation fns
  • move out the static maps into another namepsace
  • eager load the maps once during the program lifetime

upcoming

• Handle mixed-input (hiragana + romaji etc.)
• Conversion from any input to all other inputs
  • hiragana → romaji, katakana
  • katakana → romaji, hiragana
• Conversion from Kana to Kanji
  • this would most likely be something like henkan in IMEs
