The MTL Toolbox converts between Modern Taiwanese Language (MTL) and other popular romanization systems, which allows convenient search of multiple dictionaries. It also has features to help learning the MTL writing system.
Dictionaries
- Modern Taiwanese-English Dictionary [1] - a search engine for the Hiexntai-buun Dictionary (HTB). It accepts MTL, English and Harnji queries. Links to MTL Explainer, MoE audio, plus text-to-speech (TTS).
- Gateway to the Tw-Ch (Taihoa) Dictionary - converts an MTL word to a POJ word, searches the POJ Taibuun/Hoabuun Svoarterng Sutiern, and converts results from POJ to MTL. Also accepts Harnji for Taiwanese and Mandarin as search terms. Big5 encoding.
MTL learning tools
- MTL Multisearch [2] - (aka MTL Explainer) input an MTL word to search the HTB Dictionary, Dictionary of Frequently-Used Taiwan Minnan, and link to Maryknoll's Taiwanese-English Dictionary and Tai-Nichi Daijiten. Will also breakdown a word into syllables and a syllable into initial & final parts, describing each.
- POJ vs MTL Demonstrator
- MTL Text to Speech (TTS) 🔊 - simply paste an MTL sentence after the "q=" and listen right away!
MTL/POJ Conversion
- POJ to MTL Converter - converts POJ sentences (in UTF-8 encoding) to MTL.
