Greek Latin Demixer

Τhis is a tool for processing texts that contain a mixture of Latin and Greek characters. Ιt can be difficult to see the difference between certain characters and ΟCR software may mix up some letters. Ιn fact, in this paragraph there is a tau, an omicron, and two iotas mixed in with the Latin characters.

How to Use

Enter text that contains a mixture of Greek and Latin characters in the text box and press Go!. This takes you to a page that shows you the Latin characters in blue and the Greek characters in red.

Click on one of the words. On the left-hand side of the screen there are three sections: Latin, Greek, and Custom. The Latin section shows what the word would look like if all characters were replaced with Latin characters. The Greek section shows what it would look like if replaced with Greek characters. For example, would be ae in the Latin section and αε in the Greek section.

Clicking the Latin or Greek button will insert the respective suggestion.

The Custom section allows any input. Clicking the Custom button will insert the text in the Custom input.
