This page is dedicated to showcase the projects I'm working on. My latest project is called
jptranscription.
It uses the international phonetic alphabet to
transcribe German words into Japanese characters (Katakana). This way native Japanese are able to read German text somewhat close to
what it would sound like if they knew German. It uses a custom lookup-table that I made to map from phonetic blocks to their Katakana representation.
I made an API that uses this library and a tokenizer to transcribe each word into either its IPA or Katakana representation. On this page I explained my progress.
I also added a translation feature, because friends told me it would make more sense to directly incorporate that too.
