Free program, which allows you to change/replace multiple letters and phrases at a time. It is easy to create and save lists of changes/replacements, so that you can reuse them. You can even paste replacement table from your spreadsheet (e.g. Excel/Calc). wReplace resembles Notepad. Like Notepad, it works with plain text Unicode files. Applications: * Character conversion - changing one set of characters into another. Also, removing diacritics (accents). * Romanization (latinisation) - conversion of a text written in a non-Roman alphabet into Roman alphabet. * Transliteration - writing down a text (or a word) written in one alphabet with letters of another alphabet. * Cyrillization - conversion of a text written in a non-Cyrillic alphabet into Cyrillic alphabet. * Transcription (phonetics, phonemics, phonemic orthography) - writing down phonemes of a spoken language, so that you can reproduce them later. Also, you may write down phonemes of one language using letters of another. * Simple substitution cipher (e.g. ROT13, ROT47). * Morse code conversion. Remove Diacritics: wReplace is an excellent tool for national characters conversion into standard set of ASCII characters. This is useful because many programs do not correctly display non-ASCII national characters; for example, programs which display film subtitles sometimes have this problem. The change/replacement is run according to a pattern (Diacritic to ASCII) available in the program. Learning languages: wReplace is useful for language learning. It allows you to convert between different notations/writing systems, and to approximately phonetically transcribe text. Possible applications: * Japanese, text conversion both ways: Romaji - Hiragana, Romaji - Katakana, Katakana - Hiragana. * Russian; Cyrillic, conversion into Latin phonetic transcription ISO 9-1995. wReplace can be used free of charge.
