Text Translators for Codes, Scripts and Joke Voices

Type a line and get it back in ones and zeros, radio words, old signs or a silly voice, with the whole table on the page.

More about these tools

Codes spell the same text another way: eight ones and zeros for every byte, a spoken word for every letter on a bad phone line, digits standing in for letters. Borrowed scripts trade each letter for a sign from another alphabet, and those pages say plainly that a letter swap is not a translation. Joke voices rewrite ordinary English word by word from a list printed on the page. No real language is translated anywhere here, and no page pretends otherwise. Every page shows its whole table, so you can check the tool's work or do the job by hand, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
