Online Conversion Tool




File types accepted: Word OpenXML (*.docx), plain text (*.txt, etc.).





All shell scripts are POSIX-compliant. The Perl programme SlavConvert was tested on MacOS, GNU/Linux, and FreeBSD, and is portable across all of these platforms pending installation of the required dependencies. It should also work on Windows with some effort.

Additional useful Perl Church Slavonic modules for the UCS and HIP encodings are supplied by the Ponomar Project.
