This free software allows you to easily replace multiple letters and phrases at once. You can create and save lists of changes for repeated use.
One neat feature of wReplace is that you can even paste replacement tables from your spreadsheet (such as Excel or Calc). The user interface of wReplace is similar to that of Notepad, and it works with plain text Unicode files.
This software has a variety of applications, including character conversion (changing one set of characters into another), romanization (conversion of a text written in a non-Roman alphabet into the Roman alphabet), transliteration (writing down a text or word written in one alphabet with letters of another alphabet), cyrillization (conversion of a text written in a non-Cyrillic alphabet into the Cyrillic alphabet), and transcription (phonemic orthography).
Additionally, wReplace can also be used for simple substitution ciphers like ROT13 and ROT47, as well as Morse code conversion.
One of the most impressive features of wReplace is its ability to convert national characters into standard ASCII characters. This is particularly useful when dealing with non-ASCII national characters that many programs struggle to display correctly.
Language learners will also find wReplace useful, as it allows you to convert between different notations and writing systems, and to approximately phonetically transcribe text. Some examples of possible applications include text conversion in Japanese (both ways between Romaji, Hiragana, and Katakana) and Cyrillic conversion into Latin phonetic transcription for Russian.
Overall, wReplace is an excellent tool for anyone looking for a free and versatile software for character conversion and substitution. It's simple to use and can be used free of charge.
