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"
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.-
It works as a node library, CLI tool, and web app

The included
model.jsonfile 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.
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++)
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...
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!
