'''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.

:'''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. | |||

'''TypeIt''' is a free web-based keyboard which enable the full International Phonetic Alphabet, IPA, and some extensions to it, to be simply copy-pasted. Some web browsers have a couple of problems with the shortcuts when writing online, but mouse-clicking always works. TypeIt also features 20 Latin alphabets and their extensions as well as matematical, currency and miscellaneous Unicode symbols. | '''TypeIt''' is a free web-based keyboard which enable the full International Phonetic Alphabet, IPA, and some extensions to it, to be simply copy-pasted.
