About this app

Developer Description

Transcription & Keyboard for writing in the stenography alphabets of G. B. Shaw

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).

Transliteration feature is nice!

★★★★

Lance Jarvis

Seems to work very well so far except the ads completely cover the transliterated display while the system keyboard is active. That became annoying very quickly. Screen real estate works better for me on tablet (Samsung Tab A 10.5) and has no problem in the purchased version. Text to Speech seems to be bit off but I don´t know if that‘s an issue with this app or the Google Speech engine.

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.

Transcripts are completely wrong. Try share, care, pure for example but many other words are just not right when transcripted. Usability not great either. Anyway I like the idea. I just use this for quick reference now. I do hope it improves as I like it overall.
