Nimiro

A Phonetic Number System mnemonics generator [WIP]

I have learned a few things since last time I tried to do this in February 2018 (and screwed it in March of the same year, see nimiro-2018-03-screwed.zip).

Given a number, it (hopefully) outputs some meaningful and memorable words/phrases/sentences.
Main goal: Memorizing dates (8 digits) and phone numbers (10 digits).

Like, "8020" -> "XSNS" -> graph of words -> "she is nice"

Example

Suppose you want to memorize the date of Algerian's War for Independence: November 1, 1954.

Nimiro.getCandidates({
  number: "1954-11-01", // LGVR-LL-SL
  domains: "history military politics", // Wordnet Domains
  language: "en", // Other langs (like "fr") will be supported later
  limit: 2,
});

expected =
[
  "well giver lowly soul",
  "well give real lazily"
]
  // TODO sould return Array<{word, code, score}>
  // Like, {word: "giver", "GVR", score: 3}>
  // Imagine that score = 3 is for being in #politics, and encoding more than 2 numbers, being a common word.

Notes

• It works as a node library, CLI tool, and web app

• The included model.json file was built from the (poorly parsed) Complete Works of Lewis Carroll.

---

When encoding dates, it is recommended to use this pattern: YEAR-MONTH-DAY. Rationale:

• Standard format (see ISO 8601)
• Consistency. Sometimes the full date is required, sometimes MONTH-YEAR, other times only YEAR. This way you, if you know it's a date mnemonic, you can unambigiously know what number encodes what part of the date.
• This pattern may be used in later version to output better mnemonics.

Why?

Because the projects I found are limited, they only generate word sets: Got2Know (Java), Adi Mukherjee's mnemonic-major (JavaScript), maleadt's majormem (Perl/C++)

How

It works as if it were a stupid speech recognition system that can recognize only "consonants". This gives rise to problems like Word Segmentation and Vowels/Diacritics Restoration...

TODO

Check TODO.md

• Compile a list of important dates for the bac history exam.
• Nimirofy them
• Create a cheatsheet
• Share it and spread the word!
