Good app, but there are some bugs I'd like to see fixed. For instance, a Tolkien nerd will know there's two versions of 'r', one for the middle of words and one for endings, and in the app, it automatically renders which form of 'r' is output based on whether you type something after it or not. This is ok, and accurate for the most part, but when you type a long vowel carrier after 'r' in the middle of a word, the app appears to understand that as ending that word. It then gives the ending form.

transcribes incorrectly in tengwar mode!! ignores long vowels and doesn't use halla for 'unvoiced' graphemes for two

Good for a quick translation into one of the available languages.
