This application allows you to transcribe text into runes by using a phonetic correspondence with Latin or Cyrillic letters. The app focuses on translating the sounds of words rather than their meanings, making it a valuable resource for rune pronunciation and learning about runic alphabets.

Key features include support for the following major runic families:

• Elder Futhark runes (Common Germanic Fuþark)

• Swedish-Norwegian Fuþąrk (Rök and Younger Futhark, short twig)

• Danish Fuþąrk (Younger Futhark, long branch)

• Medieval rune alphabets

• Runes created by J. R. R. Tolkien for Cirth (the runic script from The Hobbit / Lord of the Rings)

Additional support is provided for Ogham (Old Irish script), including Aicme Beithe, hÚatha, Muine, Ailme, and Forfeda (additional letters).

For premium users, there are options to transcribe text into other runic systems such as 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," also known as Slavic runes), and Phoenician.

Text can be transcribed into runes based on a phonetic representation in English, Russian, or any language-agnostic format.

    This source is really great for different Rune sets. It even has downloadable dictionaries. I think it's worth paying for the full version. I recommend it. I haven't found a better app that lets you write in Runic and gives a good amount of information about The Runes. I'm just a beginner, not an expert in this area.

    It would be nice if you didn't have to pay for all the languages and some other stuff, but hey, people need to make a living. Other than that, it works really great. I'm so into it! Can't wait to leave "secret messages" for my least favorite teachers. Huge thanks to Black Envelope. Thank you so much!

    This app is great! I'm diving into the Elder Futhark to grasp the meanings and how to pronounce them, no divination yet. Not knocking divination, just want the solid historical meanings first. Then I'll dig deeper. With all the myths out there about runes and divination, knowing the original meanings will help me sift through it all. Totally worth checking out.

    So far, I only have the free version, but I must say it's exactly what I was looking for! It's easy to use for translating and copying, and it shows the correct runes. Though, I'm not sure if I like ö being written as ᛖ; that might just be my taste. The app offers three of the old Norse runes, which is more than I expected! I plan to consider purchasing the full app someday when I have more money because a rune keyboard is what I truly need.

    This app is amazing! It has a simple interface and the ads are not too bothersome. You can pretty much ignore them most of the time. Writing in runic is so cool, especially for those interested in ancient runes. There are just two small problems. I don't know how to input certain runes. Like, if I want to write "ᚿ," the description says it's "Khuzdul reversed schwa," but it doesn't tell me which letter or letters to use. The other issue is that you can't set these runes on your keyboard.

    Oh no, it turns out that the app I downloaded is actually a bait-and-switch scheme. The only free version available lacks essential features and requires payment for a keyboard. It's frustrating that the main paid features were not clearly advertised. There are other options out there that offer both free and paid versions with better value. Furthermore, the app is slow and constantly bombards me with ads even in the limited free version. I find it hard to believe that the app relies on advertising revenue yet restricts its functionality for users.

    Oh wow, this app is absolutely fantastic! It's truly a gem for DMs, writers, or anyone wanting to learn about runes and rune translations. The rune keyboard is pure magic! Upgrading to premium is definitely worth it for the incredible language keyboards you get access to. I highly recommend this app!
