Talking on the phone recently, it seemed like a good time to note down somewhere the EasySay characters I used for OnlyMe admin passwords and such.<\/p>\n
EasySay characters are characters that are quite unambiguous \/ distinct both in spoken form and in written form.<\/p>\n
In short, they are: “AESINO267”.<\/p>\n
OnlyMe considered the other characters to be equivalent to their EasySay peers.<\/p>\n
Granted, mapping from the other characters to the EasySay characters is ambiguous. Z? Good arguments could be made for it to map to E, 2, or S.<\/p>\n
Here’s the table:<\/p>\n
A ahjk8
\n E bcdegptvz3
\n S fsx
\n I ily159
\n N mn
\n O oqr04
\n 2 uw
\n 6
\n 7<\/p>\n
