guess-language

This little toy project is a small utility that tries to guess the written language of given data file.

It trains two vectors EN/FR by counting the percentage of the ascii occurence in a reference text (Candide by Voltaire).

Then it calculates the distance between calculated vector of a text and the trained ones.
