Online tool for Syriac transliteration and/or translation?
Dominika Kovačević
Dear Nascasiyyoun,
does anyone of you have recommendation of any tool for transliteration and/or translation? I need it just for small pieces (e.g titles) in Syriac liturgical books that are in Arabic. I've tried Gemini and Open AI but it has not worked well for me. I used images as when I copy the text, the places of the letters are changed.
Best regards,

what is the input? PDFs, images of manuscripts, something else?
Best,
Slavomír

Dear Slavomir,
PDFs, for example from DDS Husuyat for the Jonah Fast and Great Lent: https://dss-syriacpatriarchate.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/%D9%83%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B3%D9%91%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%B5-%D8%A8%D8%B5%D9%88%D9%85-%D9%86%D9%8A%D9%86%D9%88%D9%89-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%88%D9%85-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B9%D9%8A%D9%86%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%82%D8%AF%D8%B3.pdf

thank you. The Arabic script is encoded properly, so it comes out
nicely. The Syriac script is somewhat messed up in the conversion, so
your only option is to use OCR just for the Syriac parts. I did try it
and unfortunately the section titles are not recognized well, see the
example.
Best wishes,
Slavomír
