konj

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

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

current status

• romaji → hiragana, katakana
• hiragana → katakana, romaji
• katakana → romaji, hiragana

next steps

• handle capital letters in romaji input
• handle whitespace in romaji input
• handle punctuation: , and .
• code cleanup:
  • refactor generic transformation fns
  • move out the static maps into another namepsace
  • eager load the maps once during the program lifetime
• expose a library API instead of just printing out

upcoming

• Handle mixed-input (hiragana + romaji etc.)
• Conversion from Kana to Kanji
  • this would most likely be something like henkan in IMEs
