Smooth out grammar, punctuation, and number-related corner cases when formatting text for human consumption

Talk Gooder

talkgooder attempts to smooth out grammar, punctuation, and number-related corner cases when formatting text for human consumption. It is intended for applications where you know there's a noun and are trying to generate text, but you don't know much about it.

It handles:

• Plurals: "one cat" vs. "zero cats"
• Possessives: "the cat's toy" vs. "both cats' toys"
• Numbers to words: 2 == "two", 16 == 16
• "There is" vs. "There are": "There is one cat" vs. "There are two cats"
• "A" vs. "An": "A cat" vs. "An orange cat"
• "Was" vs. "Were": "There was one cat" vs. "There were two cats"

talkgooder is currently specific to American English, but it is extensible to other languages.
