Cuneiform Edit

The app is simple and the keyboard is effective. I'm glad it works not just within the app, but also on notes BUT NOT on google docs. Oddly "ĝ,j,ḫ" do not work with vowels, I can't type "ĝu" in cuneiform. It's very frustrating and needs to be fixed! On a minor note I'm not a massive fan of the keyboard's aesthetic; it deserves an update so it can match all the other apple keyboards. Also, there aren't multiple ways of getting to a cuneiform symbol. I can type "an" and "𒀭" will come up but if I try and type "diĝir" nothing appears. I like the subscript function it has when transcribing characters; I don't have to type "e2" or "a4". That's a nice touch :)

Thank you for constructing this and making it free to use for all of us trying to learn the tongue that governed the world before the languages were scattered abroad.

This is SUCH an improvement from wrestling with unicode, thank you very much to the developers for making this! My only hope is that eventually a version that works on macbooks comes out.

This app was a lifesaver when it came to creating vocab flash cards. I have had problems finding a few signs, specifically geš, which (tree, wood, or determinative sign for things made of wood)

The app is far better in quality than the copper ingots sold by that rascal Ea-Nasir. I am certain that the programmer would never send my messengers empty-handed into enemy territory.

Only comment is that sometimes you go to type something and it doesn’t show up, but usually it can be found under another name. For some nouns containing ĝ, you have to type a g or n or m instead... which is fine. Very few signs are actually missing-missing (however a noticeable one is 𒊊 Sumerian: piriĝ | Akkadian: Lāmu) but like I said, rare occurrence. No other comparable app, and considering the probably low demand, a very good one and an appreciated service.

Doesn’t work

I really like this app and that you can copy and paste the cuneiform into regular text documents and other things. The only problem I have had is with the “ng” character or the “g” with the squiggle which doesn’t see to bring up any cuneiform.

Using this to get more familiar with the Code of Ur-Namma and the Code of Hammurabi. Taken together with the Pennsylvania Sumerian Dictionary, it really speeds the recognition process.

Right now I mostly can't figure out how to type𒀹 or 𒀺. Signs with straightforward names are easier. The numbers really don't do anything and I haven't figured out how to do certain accented vowels.
