 Description

The spelling normalization tool (pilot converter) is meant for converting any 18th century Latvian Unicode-encoded text into a more modern spelling. This version of the tool takes care of normalizing the roots of the words, thus, it is meant for for facillitating user-friendly corpora search in tools like Sketch Engine. The tool consists of 134 universal rules. The tool has been successfully tested on various 18th century sources from the SENIE, achieving an average accuracy of 94%.
