Hunaccent

Accentize Hungarian text. Please note that this libarary does not use a vocabulary and it may generate non-existant words.

C++

Compiling

g++ hunaccent.cpp -std=c++11 -O3 -Wall -pedantic -o hunaccent

Usage

$ echo arvizturo tukorfurogep | ./hunaccent
árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép

If you call the binary from a different directory, you need to specify the location of the trees:

$ echo arvizturo tukorfurogep | ./hunaccent/hunaccent hunaccent/tree/
árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép

Compiling to Javascript

Install Emscripten. Set

#define TARGET_EMSCRIPTEN

at the beginning of hunaccent.cpp by removing the double slash, then run

emcc -std=c++11 --bind -s WASM=0 hunaccent.cpp -o hunaccent.js --embed-file tree

The hunaccent.js and hunaccent.html files are all that is needed, the asset is compiled into the js file by Emscripten.

Python

Install

Install latest version from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/juditacs/hunaccent.git
cd hunaccent
pip install .

Usage

from hunaccent import hunaccent

hunaccent.accentize('arvizturo tukorfurogep')
hunaccent.accentize('izekre gondoltam')

hunaccent.print_node('a', 24877)

Deaccentize input

$ echo árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép | ./deaccentize.py
arvizturo tukorfurogep

Accentizing again:

$ echo árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép | ./deaccentize.py | ./hunaccent 
árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép

Note

Hunaccent is still under development, meaning I might change the tree files for better ones anytime.
