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.

STABILITY

Until release of version 1.00 the included methods, names of methods and their interfaces are subject to change.

Beginning with version 1.00 the specification will be stable, i.e. not changed between major versions.
