About KANDLES Tools

KANDLES tools implement the encoding system described in US Patent Application 2024/0248922 A1, invented by Mike Merkur. The encoding engine maps the first consonant sound of each word to one of 7 color categories, producing a unique visual fingerprint for any text.

The platform extends the core patent with language tools, search indexing, game-based learning, and interactive color-grid navigation — systems architected by Tristen Pierson.
