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

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.

I love this app. I use this app to enhance my D&D experiences, by writing out my spells and riddles in different languages. I love how it has an alphabet function, so i can learn the "letters" of all the different language options. I dislike the pay part of this app, it is initially free, but to access alot of the functions, you need to pay for them. All in all though, i supper fun app, for those with the will to learn new ways of communication, among dungeon mates.

Works decent enough, Premium is glitchy. Every time I switch to the runic keyboard on my note 10+ I am told I need to purchase the keyboard to use. Sometimes it will activate itself after a few seconds, other times I have to click into the app. Once I click into the app, again it will sometimes verify and sometimes take me to Google play that only tells you that it's already paid for. Fix that and it would easily be a four star.
