Vietnamese on Mac
Search Vietnamese files on your Mac, even when you type without accents
Typing Vietnamese with every accent is slow, so most people don't. Most search tools then find nothing. Reperi was built to cope.
What happens when you type without accents
| Where | You type | Reperi matches |
|---|---|---|
| Find, by words | hop dong thue nha | Hợp đồng thuê nhà.pdf |
| Go, in a path | ~/Documents/vlu/he | ~/Documents/VLU/Hệ thống |
| Clips | bai tap co so du lieu | a clip titled Bài tập cơ sở dữ liệu |
Searching by meaning in Vietnamese
Word matching ignores accents on its own. Searching by meaning is a little different: the search model reads Vietnamese best with its accents.
So when you have set an AI key, Reperi first asks the model to put the accents back on your query, then searches. It does this for any search typed in plain letters, English included: the model hands back anything that is not Vietnamese unchanged. Only your short query is sent.
Vietnamese and English together
The search model is multilingual. Documents that mix Vietnamese and English, which is most real work, are searched in one go. The summaries the AI writes follow the language of the document.
FAQ
No. Word matching ignores them in Find, Go and Clips.
Only if you have set an AI key, and only the short query, to restore the accents. Without a key nothing is sent.
The interface is in English. Your files, searches and clips can be in Vietnamese.
