This is a T9 implementation that I wrote a long, long time ago for XBMC so chat programs could chat via the remote like I could on my Nokia phone.

The language files are huge, but after generation they're organised so the number of reads depends on the number of buttons pressed. It's pretty fast, and uses virtually no RAM or CPU. This is required for embedded systems, so enjoy! If you're not on an embedded system, you can test it out like this:

pipx run t9

The reader consists of 3 classes, a database node (T9Key), a database client (T9Dict), and an input parser (T9Input). As a user you'll only need to bother with the latter.
