FAQ

Does this page use AI?

Yes. Historical/Ottoman image reading, transliteration, and modernization can use backend AI/OCR when that option is available and enabled. If it is unavailable or turned off, the page falls back to local date detection and basic notes. The main Turkish character converter remains non-AI.

Can it read Ottoman Turkish from an image?

Yes, when AI-assisted image reading/OCR is available and enabled. Without it, you can still paste text and use local date detection and basic notes.

Does it support handwritten Ottoman Turkish?

Only experimentally. Printed text and clean scans are the reliable launch target. Handwriting requires specialist review.

Can it convert Rumi and Hijri dates?

Yes. The tool includes Rumi, Hijri, and Gregorian conversion logic and marks approximate conversions where calendar systems require caution.

Does it support Kutadgu Bilig style Turkish?

Yes, as explanatory transfer into modern Turkish. It should not be presented as an academic critical edition.
