GreekTranscoder software converts polytonic Greek characters from one text encoding to another, making it easier to share and transfer files between different systems.
GreekTranscoder is a software program designed to convert polytonic Greek characters from one encoding to another. Its main objective is to facilitate the transformation of text encoded with older fonts into Unicode fonts. However, the program also offers the option of converting text between diverse obsolete encodings as well as from Unicode into these preexisting formats.
GreekTranscoder has a range of useful features. Firstly, the program supports a variety of legacy encodings, namely Beta Code, GreekKeys, Ismini, LaserGreek, Paulina Greek, SGreek, SPIonic, SuperGreek, Vilnius University, and WinGreek (and Son of WinGreek). Secondly, the application can also be used with Unicode, using either composed or composing characters.
Moreover, GreekTranscoder allows you to choose which option you prefer to apply to your Unicode text. It also lets you conform to the TLG practice concerning Unicode codepoints, which is considered "deprecated". Additionally, a Unicode text can be converted into Unicode itself with different conversion settings.
The latest release of GreekTranscoder has several new updates, including support for the Vilnius University encoding and more efficient routines for verifying the Unicode composing characters' sequences. The default font list has also been updated, which now includes Code2001, Gentium, GentiumAlt, ALPHABETUM, and all the Vilnius-University-encoding fonts listed in the Antioch documentation, whereas the program no longer includes the so-called 'Semata' fonts.
Several modifications have been undertaken for better performance, such as improved treatment of WinGreek quotation marks and corrected issues on Windows, amongst others. You must have Microsoft Word and an operating system that support Unicode to use GreekTranscoder. The minimum requirement is Microsoft Word 2004 or later on a Macintosh with Mac OS X 10.2.8 or higher. GreekTranscoder is distributed as a Microsoft Word document template and programmed through Visual Basic 5. The program is available as a macro on Word. With all these features and improvements, GreekTranscoder proves an excellent tool for text encoding conversion.
