An excellent resource as a starting point for people interested in learning the Shavian alphabet, however users need to check for errors in translation. Since Shavian is phonemic, not phonetic, using phonetics as the basis of translation will inevitably cause inaccuracies. The app itself also still needs development, can be a bit buggy. Overall recommend, hoping that it continues to be developed.

Very useful and easy app for those learning and using the Shaw phonemic alphabet (Shavian) for English instead of the Latin alphabet (Roman letters). This app is still in development with minor errors and usability problems still too be ironed out. It's one of a kind and that is why I am sticking with it as it matures.

Love languages and this one is fascinating. The app is brilliant, easy to use and makes learning Shavian easier.

It's pretty good at translating phonetically, but it doesn't use the shorthand for words like "the" and "of".

I were looking for a dictionary that allow transcription of words to shavian. But it's "only" a keyboard and a letter translator. Thanks anyway.

Excellent reference & resource. Works well so far but I find with many apps with long term use degrades. Hopefully this will not have a similar fate. 𐑧𐑒𐑕𐑕𐑧𐑤𐑧𐑯𐑑 𐑮𐑧𐑓𐑮𐑩𐑯𐑕 & 𐑮𐑰𐑟𐑷𐑮𐑕. 𐑢𐑩𐑒𐑕 𐑢𐑧𐑤 𐑕𐑩𐑫 𐑓𐑸 𐑚𐑳𐑑 𐑲 𐑓𐑦𐑯𐑛 𐑢𐑦𐑞 𐑥𐑧𐑯 𐑨𐑐𐑕 𐑢𐑦𐑞 𐑤𐑪𐑙 𐑑𐑥 𐑿𐑟 𐑛𐑧𐑜𐑮𐑱𐑛𐑟. 𐑣𐑩𐑫𐑐𐑓𐑫𐑤𐑰 𐑞𐑦𐑕 𐑢𐑦𐑤 𐑯𐑪𐑑 𐑣𐑨𐑝 𐑭 𐑕𐑦𐑥𐑦𐑤 𐑓𐑱𐑑.

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).
