With this app you can transliterate text to runes based on a phonetic translation. This app translates the sounds of words, not the meaning. It is a good source for rune pronunciation and learning about the runic alphabets.
The app also allows exposes system keyboards for typing with runes in other apps.
Supports the following major runic families:
• Elder Futhark runes (Common Germanic Fuþark)
• Swedish-Norwegian Fuþąrk (Rök; Younger Futhark, short twig)
• Danish Fuþąrk (Younger Futhark, long branch)
• Anglo-Saxon runes (Anglo-Frisian Fuþorc)
• Medieval rune alphabets
Supports Ogham (Old Irish script):
• Aicme Beithe / hÚatha / Muine / Ailme
• Forfeda (the letters added later)
Furthermore:
• Old Turkic (Göktürk script / Orkhon script / Orkhon-Yenisey)
• Armanen runes (Armanen Futharkh)
• Gothic
• Old Italic
• Glagolitic (Old Slavonic "Glagolitsa", sometimes known as Slavic runes)
Text is transcribed to runes based on a phonetic representation (English, Russian or language agnostic).

Write in Runic FAQ
Is Write in Runic free?
Write in Runic is not free (it costs 99.00), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Write in Runic legit?
🤔 The Write in Runic app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
The app is great, and the only one that allows you to write in runes as a keyboard. However, it is frustrating that you cannot set the keyboard to be exclusively one kind of runic writing. I’m much more interested in Younger Furthark, for example, but it’s very hard to write in it in the keyboard presented. Please fix this!!
Love the app, yet, I cannot find it in keyboard settings
I love this app. I have an IPhone 10, however, I cannot find the “Write in Runic” in the keyboard options, regarding selecting languages. I highly doubt it’s my phone. It’s possibly a bug, or something.
No Keyboard
I specifically paid for this stupid app for the keyboard and after following the instructions, the keyboard is not there. I want a refund on this. Unacceptable.
Keyboard
Cool idea. But when I go to add it too add it as a keyboard the option isn’t there. I go to settings general add new keyboard but the option too add it isn’t there.
Stopped working
The app was great. Now it says reimplement todo. I deleted it and reinstalled but same problem happens. And keyboard does not have the button to change. It is stuck on the one that is full screen with runes, not traditional keyboard where you swap keyboards.
Totally blank
The screen and keyboard are white. In the app you can barely see in light yellow what is being typed, but the keyboard itself is totally white so I have no idea what symbols I’m pressing. It said in the app stats that this would be compatible with my phone. Apparently not, I’ve got an iPhone 11 and am running an older OS than the new phones these days cause it’s more adapted to my phone, and I’m not willing to update it cause of the incompatibilities designed into the updates to make older phones obsolete. Really love the idea but I just wasted $5 on it, if it is an OS issue then the preferred OS should be listed.
Ogham inaccuracies
There were some inaccuracies in the Ogham (primarily in pronunciation but also in appearance of some) and that was the only runic system I wanted it for. My husband said that the Norse runes were mostly accurate so it would be good for those
Not as described
Tried to get a phonetic translation and just got letter translation. Can get that free online. Disappointed.
White Screen and font
After initially loving this app, I noticed after only 1 day the app has a white screen and font. Nit helpful. Any fixes or did I just robbed?
App was downgraded.
Worked fine until today. New version doesn’t do anything.
