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).

Ratings and reviews

Super useful for comparing/contrasting different rune sets from across multiple regions. I've thoroughly enjoyed exploring the similarities and differences of the included rune sets, as well as furthering my understanding of the Younger and Elder Futhark during my studies of Norse culture and history. Only gave 4 stars because you can't save an image of translated text. It can only be shared through various social media as an image or text (if your device supports the character settings).

I Fixed the problem.😁 Just so the devopers know when I had the Facebook alternative app called Swipe Pro I had an issue with the space bar glitching out on the status update bar. It would move the cursor to the right but remain where it was. Then would add runes directly next to the previous character If I physically clicked to the right of the cursor it would jump there, behaving like I had already spaced to the right. But the space bar was completely unresponsive in every rune variant option

I love this app! Simple interface. Ads are pretty much ignorable, you don't see them very much. Writing in runic is an amazing experience for those who want to learn ancient runes. Just 2 minor issues. I don't know the inputs for certain runes. For example if i wanted to write "ᚿ" the description says "Khuzdul reversed schwa", but not what letter or letter combination you need to write it. For the other issue, it's only about not being able to set these runes on your keyboard.
