Text to grid, grid to text
Write a page as text and see it drawn, or draw on the grid and read it back. Both ways also read the page as a graph, the way the translating machine does. Nothing leaves your browser.
The converter needs JavaScript and the vocabulary file; they could not load.
Text → drawing
One band per row: SYMBOL: node | relation | node. Words are KIND.WHICH from the dictionary, numbers are COUNT and base-512 digits (COUNT.137, COUNT.4.171 for 2219, or just COUNT.2219), and _ is empty. A block of rows is one triplet; rows under its first are other voices answering it. A blank row starts the next triplet. # starts a comment.
Symbols: + is them, × is us; any other single character is another voice.
The drawing as text
Drawing → text
Pick a part and click to stamp it, or pick "one cell" and draw freely. The lighter rows are where bands go. Leave 1 empty cell between the parts of a word, 2 between words and 4 between triplets: the machine reads the structure from those gaps alone, and anything that won't split into whole parts is a picture. You can also paste a drawing as text, one row per line, with . for empty cells.
