CyrAcademisator - Description

Wednesday, 02 December 2009 01:08

CyrAcademisator is a transliteration and transcription tool for Russian texts.

CyrAcademisator was made especially for academic use at universities and for research purposes. It makes possible a fast conversion of Russian texts to established scientific transliteration styles. A conversion back to Cyrillic is possible, as it is possible to convert from one transliteration to another. Old Church Slavonic and Old Russian characters are recognized and can be entered into the text field with a provided virtual Russian keyboard. Due to missing standardisations of some older characters in most of the transliteration styles, CyrAcademisator provides an individual report with information on possible misconversions and their reasons.
