    On the Shave Architecture

    Accompanying yesterdayโ€™s post announcing Shave I thought it might be interesting for some of you to learn a bit more about what is going on under the hood in the tool. It will come as no surprise that it started out life as a clone of Dave Coffinโ€™s python transliterator. That tool was the best…

    On Shave

    Iโ€™ve been teasing you all with talk about my own transliteration tool for quite some time. I hadnโ€™t released it, as there were some features I really wanted to have nailed before letting you guys get your hands on it. The wait is over. I just released a web UI for my shave transliterator so…

  • Shaw-Spell web UI

    Shaw-Spell web UI

    Iโ€™ve been tinkering away on Shaw-Spell, improving the way lemmas, forms and word senses are grouped in the dictionary. But a more interesting change is perhaps the web UI I created for the dictionary this weekend. It was a fairly straightforward adaptation of the macOS one: an intermediate form of the dictionary was already an…

    Shaw-Spell

    Tl;dr:I have created native Shavian spell-checking and dictionary services for macOS, now available here! As you will have gathered from my writings here and on Reddit, Iโ€™ve been tinkering away on some tools for the Shavian alphabet: The two tools I found were missing from the arsenal were a dictionary and a spell checker. Well,…

    Shaw Type

    Having gotten more and more serious about Shavian of late, I found myself wanting to practice typing using my favourite Shavian keyboard layout. I couldn’t find a tool, so I tasked Claude code with building one for me. The results are here: Shaw-type. I am already seeing the benefits of practicing with it: I am…
