•What is WCode?
A system to communicate digital information using only simple words.
Below, each represent the same data; The bottom one: words enclosed by slashes, is the equivalent WCode
one two three four five six
1 2 3 4 5 6

Unlike barcodes, instead of geometrical figures like bars and blocks, WCode is made up of literal words.
•Where can it be used?
WCode is to be used when a human needs to relay very short data from one computer to another manually.
E.g. when exchanging email address, mobile number or GPS location by speech or writing
•Why should it be used?
Comparatively, WCodes are:
shorter – meaning lesser number of words. Since 1 when spoken, is again a word: ‘ONE’
As in the example above:OriginalWCode– 6 digits– 4 nouns123456CatAppleMango Tomatosimpler – thus unambiguous and easier to communicate and memorize
Digits and symbols like : 1, @, _ are replaced with common words.
Even complex datasets like : 27°59'17'N 86°55'31'E get transformed to a bunch of simple words.safer – ensures accuracy and privacy
The chances of making a mistake are reduced.
Additionally checksum and encryption are supported.
•Example :
Sender:
Data:9812345670►cat apple mango:Code
Receiver:
Code:cat apple mango►9812345670:Data
– Voilà ! your mobile number is back.
