Shav Extension

Practice your Shavian reading comprehension on your favorite sites, or even your inbox. One click translates all text on the page. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavian_alphabet for the basics.

This tool combines the pronunciation data from American-accented CMUdict and English-accented Britfone. Each of these dialects merges some sounds, so this tool gets finer details from the other. It can make notable distinctions such as: Mary-marry-merry (𐑥𐑺𐑦-𐑥𐑨𐑮𐑦-𐑥𐑧𐑮𐑦), cot-caught-court (𐑒𐑪𐑑-𐑒𐑷𐑑-𐑒𐑹𐑑), and bother-father-farther (𐑚𐑪𐑞𐑼-𐑓𐑭𐑞𐑼-𐑓𐑸𐑞𐑼).
See https://shavian.info/spelling for more details.
