Reply to comment by ghostfaceschiller in Transition probabilities (shown as percentages) between successive letters in the names of girls born in 2021 in the USA [OC] by kilopeter

I haven't, but good point. The code to count transitions between characters is very straightforward (well... I wrote mine without worrying about performance issues), and in principle could be packaged as a lightweight web app or even a JavaScript-powered static site and accept any text corpus uploaded or linked by the user.

I recently put together a repo of character frequency analyses, bc they can be really useful when designing keyboard layouts. So I have an eye out rn for interesting ways to look at and visualize the data. I think this particular instance is probably too limited to be useful for keyboard layouts, but if you do anything more please let me know! It’s one of the more interesting visualizations I’ve seen so I’d love to include/link it
