So I think I saw some programmers here who are into NLP and voice
recognition. Now this is a bit out of my field but you think that
could help translate the bible into every language spoken and written?
Seems like wavelet transform of voice, pattern recognition, then linking with a dictionary and grammar... You think it could even analyze the pattern of the voice word and create the spelling and the written language at the same time. And generate grammar rules and shoot round corners. Now I only speak english and I don't know what an adverb is but I really like hardware and writing algorithms, dyslexic too, for real. Love in Christ.

As a student, I have just finished a module called Computation Theory which included a lot on Formal Languages. People have tried this before and it always fails because natural languages are so full of exceptions to the rules they are meant to follow. English is one of the best examples of a corrupted language.
