Tengwar Transcriber for Android
Only nit is the off-white background of the rendered images. Pure black letters on pure white background would be far more useful when importing into image editing programs.
This app writes "tulë" in Quenya mode with tinco alone, then carrier with 'u', then lambe alone, then carrier with 'e'. That is most definitely not Quenya mode. Quenya is written with vowel diacritics over the preceding tengwar.
Good elvish so you can tag the streets like gandalf
Geat for first time learners.
There were quite a few problems with the transcriptions, particularly with vowel carriers and double consonants. I tried to transcribe NY names in Sindarin and Quenya (Cillendor and Torcillon), and both had errors even when using the correct modes. That said, I am very glad that this app exists. Hopefully the creator will continue updating and improving this app.
This App is the first one that uses the rules correctly and especially ALL OF THEM.
This is by far the best elvish app yet. Will there be any pronunciation help later on? That would make it the ultimate!
Having different options for both mode and font is great. Of course, in English mode the double constants and ending e & s not showing properly is a little annoying, but not enough to make me not use the app.
Great app but please add horizontal strokes for double consonants and use less vertical strokes for vowels.
Badass!
The vowels should be placed above the consonants, but instead most of them are placed above the 'i' that should be used sometimes but not as much as it is used..

Very convenient to use. I must suggest correction that in Quenya mode, all vowels following consonants are supposed to be represented with diacritics (tehta) above the consonant, instead of full tengwar which are used for vowels preceeding consonants or standalone. Just like Sindarin, English and Black Speech, but reversed.
It a nice app, am very pleased with it, I just wish it can also change English to Elvish language itself not the words

Thank God for this I have my own languege new and now
i love this app for quick transliteration and sharing script online. however, i really want to be able to edit the transcription tables, as some of the rules used are not correct/to my liking (ie. no underdot for silent e, double consonants, nasalization, final -s etc). even better would be the option for a bespoke TEHTA KEYBOARD for those of us who Know tengwar and just need a way to write it
Great job for the most part. A few slight issues with not having both versions of the R so as to follow the R-rule when writing in English, no doubling value line under tengwa, no ending s-hooks, odd vowel choices, etc. Nothing technically written "wrong", per se, just odd to look at sometimes. These issues aside, best Tengwar app on the market.
I can't find where I saved the inscription,please help me
Close enough I suppose.
What I was looking for. IT WOULD BE COOL if it show how to wright some of it
In Sindarin Classic mode, the symbols of Z and K are misplaced with each other. When I write z, it writes k and so on. This should be fixed, along with other problems that I do not remember at the moment.
Love it
In Quenya, the vowel is placed atop the consonant that comes before it; but the Tengwar Transcriber's Quenya mode treats vowels as separate letters placing them on vowel carriers. This was very odd, annoying, and simply incorrect. The option to input different modes was quite nice, and the fonts look great.

YEAAAAH!!
Much more groovy than the translator,kudos
Easy, quick and pretty script
Close enough I suppose.
Love it !

It works great I think you should expand it to other devices as well. Its a great tool and I enjoy having it
It's such a pleasure to have been part of this app... congrats for this successful application!
Best app there is!!!
Perfect app..!! Thank you developers.
I love this app, and it actually is very accurate, despite some problems with the silent e, and a few other things, especially the sindarin mode k. So it isn't 100% accurate. I am learning Sindarin, so I know for sure this is way better than any other android app for elvish. "Melin sen app, an ha teitha vae."
As Abe Boschen states, there are some flaws in the translation. Used in English mode the second vowel carriers have to be removed, there is no underpoint for silent 'e'. Any resulting text has to be modified but it is neat, easy to use and recommended. I'm looking forward to a means by which we can edit the tables. Please??
It's the best translating app ever! I just want to know how to pronounce and a Sindarin and Quenya keyboard that would be great!!
The angcerthas of daeron (dwarven runes) are not represented. Doubled consonant letters can't be represented with an extra horizontal stroke. Consecutive vowels always use a carrier stroke. Often vowel carrier strokes are used when not needed. Double height vertical strokes for compressed and combined letters are not supported. Third party fonts can't be added. Rules tables can't be added or edited. But otherwise an awesome app. Best of its kind so far!

Mind your Ps and Qs! Haha :) In Sindarin mode p and q both are transliterated as p. Also, S mode doesn't know to automatically merge the English qu digraph into just q. In Quenya mode I have to second the many comments below regarding the overuse of the short vowel carrier, and lack of the underbar for doubled consonants (dev: need graphite enabled fonts?).
