About this app

Convert your name to Ancient or Modern Greek characters and back again.

With this app you can transliterate text to Greek based on a phonetic translation. This app translates the sounds of words, not the meaning. This app is also a good source for learning more about the evolution of the Greek alphabet. Premium upgrade unlocks keyboards and additional historical alphabets.

Supports the following alphabets:

• Ancient Greek (polytonic Attic / Ionic, Hellenistic / Koine / Biblical with spiriti, accents and archaic letters)
• Modern Greek (post-1982 non-polytonic with modern digraphs)

For premium users:
• Linear B petroglyphs (ancient Mycenean language)
• Cypriot (ancient script from Cyprus)
• Lycian (ancient Anatolian language)
• Lydian (ancient Anatolian language)
• Gothic (ancient European language inspired by the Greek alphabet)
• Coptic (Egyptian alphabet inspired by Greek)
• Old Italic (Latin alphabet inspired by Greek)
• Phoenician (Greek ancestor alphabet)

Text is transcribed to these characters based on a phonetic representation (English, Russian, Arabic, or language agnostic).

Great app for someone just starting to learn! One small caveat: when you lookup a word, there seems to be a possibility of hitting a link to a more full some dictionary ("open dictionary"). However, when you click that link, no dictionary opens up. Overall good though!

Good app, but I paid for premium and some of the features for Coptic are missing, even though I think the letters are contained somewhere within the app. Also TTS doesn't work sometimes. If you could please fix these things that would be greatly appreciated.

Literally all the complaints on this app are about how it "doesn't work" and "doesn't translate". Well, of course it doesn't translate, it's a transliterator not a translator. It goes by phonetic value. It says so in the description, and literally in the name. "Greek Alphabet", not "Greek Language Translator". It does what it's meant to do perfectly.
