About this app

Discover how letters form written groups in English, then explore examples and test what you learn. Elfic offers approximate spelling analysis in English: your words stay in ordinary text, with no Elvish glyphs generated. A parchment-inspired interface brings a touch of fantasy to your practice.

Learn, practice, and share

• Explore the active profile's rules and use examples to see how each one applies.
• Test yourself with quizzes: recognize written letter groups in English and Italian, or Elvish-style writing in the Spanish profile.
• Save favorite results to revisit and keep track of your learning progress.
• Share a result as an image with its profile and status visible, so its context travels with it.
• Analyze short texts, browse lessons, and practice offline.

Your device language shapes the experience

Elfic uses your device's primary system language for both its interface and writing profile. English and Italian use approximate spelling analysis, preserving the original words without generating Elvish glyphs. Spanish renders text using Elfic's original Spanish Elvish-writing rules.

For any other primary language, the app uses the Spanish interface and profile and shows a notice. There is no language selector within the app.

What the result means

Elfic works with written forms, not meanings. It does not translate into Quenya, Sindarin, or other Elvish languages, guarantee pronunciation, or promise exact Tengwar transcription. Spanish retains Elfic's inherited rules; English and Italian analysis is approximate and may not cover every variant or exception.

Ratings and reviews

The translations aren't always correct. I know a bit about the language as I've studied some of it and I notice with this app that it doesn't account for certain variances when letters are next to each other in a word and should be combined to make a different symbol rather than what is shown. Idk if that makes sense but basically the app is wrong lol.

Lot of fun, but doesn't recognise capital letters. Also, as it currently offeres literal translation, could there be an option to write by selecting the tengwar (symbol) you want, thus getting a more accurate translation? Thanks for a fun app.

I personally know how to write in Tengwar. This app gets an awful lot of it wrong in terms of the incorrect script structure and the correct letters in correspondence with the letter typed. Apparently a typed "H" is a Tengwar "E?" I am giving it two stars because the Tengwar letters being used are actually Tengwar, despite being scrambled.
