Agora-Transcription VS glaemscribe

We will build upon our existing project: Building Your Own Transcription Service Within a Video Call Web App. You can begin by cloning this project’s GitHub repository. You will now have a project which looks like this:

in the world of text editors for the LotR, there's Glǽmscribe: https://glaemscrafu.jrrvf.com/english/glaemscribe.html

The only online transcribers I would trust are Tecendil or Glaemscribe.

Use [Glaemscribe](https://glaemscrafu.jrrvf.com/english/glaemscribe.html) instead or [my transcriber](http://blackspeech.de/transcriber/index.php?text=Nazg%C3%BBl&mode=mode00&cyr\_lang=1&use\_ou=on&j\_option=2&nuquerna=2&use\_altSZ=on&encoding=legacy&font=Tengwar+Annatar&font\_size=1.5em&color=&italic=on&textarea\_size=#result) (both render Annatar fonts better than Tecendil, by the way)

Tecendil and Glǽmscribe are both good starting points, but I'd also recommend returning to Tolkien's own descriptions of the writing systems in the Lord of the Rings appendices.

I think this is your best bet https://glaemscrafu.jrrvf.com/english/glaemscribe.html.

There are other transcribers, some with exposed advanced technical controls and support for other Tolkienien and historical languages, like Glaemscribe—but they typically don’t handle modern English and you have to have a baseline technical/linguistic familiarity with how those languages work.

So what u/jakoboss said is correct, either form of silme is correct when writing Sindarin. But when generating transliterations with Tecendil or Glaemscribe or any other transcriber, be surw the appropriate target language is selected, as there may be language-specific considerations.

I have not found a better font than Johan Winge's Annatar Italic (link, to a glaemscribe's updated encoding).
