'''Word generators''' allow conlangers to quickly create a lexicon from a simple phonology and a defined syllabic structure. This may be used to create a full lexicon or to simply pick the genereated words that appeal to you. | '''Word generators''' allow conlangers to quickly create a lexicon from a simple phonology and a defined syllabic structure.

:The '''Haedus Toolbox SCA''' is a very nice, phonetic segment-operating sound change applier created by Fiona Morrigan, a computational linguist and conlanger. Runs from the command line using Java and is easily configured with text files. | :The '''Haedus Toolbox SCA''' is a very nice, phonetic segment-operating sound change applier created by Fiona Morrigan, a computational linguist and conlanger.

:'''Geoff's Sound Change Applier''', or '''GSCA''', is a program that applies rule-based transformations to strings of Unicode text. Originally based on [[w:Mark Rosenfelder|Mark Rosenfelder's]] SCA, the GSCA is now a much more complex and powerful alternative. Among its features are featural sound changes, assimilation, preprocessing, randomization, simultaneous dialectal evolution, word exceptions and more. | |||
