About this app

The Shavian alphabet (or Shaw alphabet) was posthumously created as an alphabet for the English language, intended to replace Latin. Each character in the Shavian Alphabet requires only a single stroke to be written on paper. The Shaw alphabet was later evolved by its designer Kingsley Read into Quickscript (also known as the Read alphabet and Second Shaw).

Ratings and reviews

I describe my experience as excellent! The app is extremely well built, one suggestion tho. This app should include an optional one time payment for a lesson set. This lesson set should teach the entire alphabet, basic vocabulary, word structure and how to build on those on your own once the lesson(s) are over. Just an idea tho, your app is still amazing as is.

For me and my experience was different than everyone else, the actual keyboard you have to buy to use in other experiences... Which is very inconvenient- at least for me, and I get the reason why- but, now I can't really use the app anymore... And I'm someone who doesn't really do in-game purchases, at least not much, but the developers did a nice job!

Upon using it for a longer time, I've discovered it doesn't always always accurately translate. Asking an AI such as Perplexiy or Grok will correctly translate words such as Nomination 𐑯𐑪𐑥𐑦𐑯𐑱𐑖𐑩𐑯 . But the app will write it as 𐑯𐑭𐑥𐑫𐑯𐑱𐑖𐑩𐑯 . The word Fairy is another example. There's two translations depending on the accent, but the usual pronunciation is 𐑓𐑧𐑮𐑦 . The keyboard and dictionary are excellent additions, but it's better for looking up what sound each letter makes.
