Agora-Translated-Transcription VS glaemscribe

We have successfully made our very own multilingual transcription service inside a web video call application. In case you weren’t coding along or want to see the finished product all together, I have uploaded all the code to GitHub: https://github.com/akshatvg/Agora-Translated-Transcription

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).
