.OverviewThis package provides tools through which you can change the encoding, font, and/or script of text in Microsoft Word and other Office documents, OpenOffice and LibreOffice documents, XML documents, and SFM text and lexicon documents. It also installs a system-wide repository to manage your encoding converters and transliterators (, Perl, or Python based, as well as support for adding custom transduction engines).For developers, it provides a simple COM interface to select and use a converter from the repository. It is easy to use from VBA, C, C#, Perl, Python or any.NET/COM enabled language.The core EncConverters assembly is fully integrated with SIL FieldWorks, Speech Analyzer, Phonology Assistant, Adapt It and OneStory Editor software. It provides the same system-wide registry of installed and available encoding converters for all of these user programs.
Additionally the package includes some extra utilities such as a clipboard converter for manipulating text between cut and paste operations.The following picture illustrates the suite of tools, utilities, and applications that are available and how they interact. SIL Converters SuiteFigure 1 shows the three distinct layers to SIL Converters. At the top are various client applications.

You can check below for the fonts/encodings that you are interested in to see which Maps and Tables package to install.Most end-users are interested only in a small number of encodings. Typically, computer support people have created TECkit maps and/or CC tables for the various encodings used in each entity, alleviating most end-users from having to create their own maps and tables.Because there are hundreds of possible encoding converters and transliterators that different end-users may be interested in, they are packaged into logically-related groups of converters and are available via a two-step process. Steps1) Use the SILConverters installer to install the package(s) of converter likely to be useful to you (e.g. Based on your entity).

NoteThese transliterators can be daisy-chained together to transliterate between non-Latin scripts using a Compound meta-converter. For example, chaining the Devanagari-Latin transliterator (in the Forward direction) with the Arabic-Latin transliterator (in the Reverse direction) gives a ‘Devanagari-Arabic’ transliterator.FindPhone to IPA convertersAdds the following converters for dealing with FindPhone encoded data:.
