DESCRIPTION

Text::Guess::Script gets the script property for each character in the text and returns the code of the script with the most characters.

CONSTRUCTOR

new()

Creates a new object which maintains internal storage areas for the Text::Guess::Script computation. Use one of these per concurrent Text::Guess::Script->guess() call.

METHODS

guess($text)

Returns the script code with the most characters.

guesses($text)

Returns an array reference with an array, sorted descending by relative frequency for each script. Each entry is a triple of script code, relative frequency and script name:

            

              
              
$guesses = [
  [ 'Latn', '0.909090909090909',  'Latin'  ],
  [ 'Zyyy', '0.0909090909090909', 'Common' ],
];
            
          

EXPORT

None by design.
