About this app

With this app you can transliterate text to runes based on a phonetic correspondence with Latin or Cyrillic letters. This app translates the sounds of words, not the meaning. It is a good source for rune pronunciation and learning about the runic alphabets.

Supports the following major runic families:

• Elder Futhark runes (Common Germanic Fuþark)
• Swedish-Norwegian Fuþąrk (Rök; Younger Futhark, short twig)
• Danish Fuþąrk (Younger Futhark, long branch)
• Medieval rune alphabets
• The runes that J. R. R. Tolkien invented for Cirth (the rune script from The Hobbit / Lord of the Rings)

Supports Ogham (Old Irish script):
• Aicme Beithe / hÚatha / Muine / Ailme
• Forfeda (the letters added later)

For premium users:
• Anglo-Saxon runes (Anglo-Frisian Fuþorc)
• Old Turkic (Göktürk script / Orkhon script / Orkhon-Yenisey)
• Old Hungarian runes (rovásírás)
• Armanen runes (Armanen Futharkh)
• Gothic
• Old Italic
• Glagolitic (Old Slavonic "Glagolitsa", sometimes known as Slavic runes)
• Phoenician

Text is transcribed to runes based on a phonetic representation (English, Russian or language agnostic).

Fantastic app. Though there are a few things that would be greatly appreciated, such as a correction on how the dipothong SH in modern English is represented by the ēo rune from Anglo-Saxon. I don't think that is an exact conversion as there is nothing to suggest the the rune for Eihwaz evolved into sh. Other than that this is a tidy little app that I enjoy using and in fact encouraged me to learn more about language.

Does what it says, it is very useable with the free options and so far it's been obvious when a particular function or feature is not free or can be purchased for either by viewing a short advertisement or with the paid version (sometimes both options are available) . All in all a good and upfront about costs application, more should use this kind of template for their applications well done guys!)

Very ad intensive! After five minutes of removing consents I gave up and that was not even half way through the list. How about a reject all option?!!! Accessibilty issues with many inconsistent font sizes. No option to remove annoying images that again get in the way of the text. All this detracts from what could be a wonderful app. Shame.
