According to the mathematicians, the smart system is likely the first in the world to convert Baybayin words to Latin alphabet.
MANILA, Philippines – Filipino mathematicians have developed a smart system that can transliterate paragraphs of Baybayin script to Latin alphabet, making the pre-colonial 17-character writing system more accessible to the public.

Screenshot from Philippine Journal of Science “We’re trying to refine the software we developed to make it easier for future users to navigate it,” Mendoza said in a press release. “We also dream of creating a mobile application that automatically and accurately translates Baybayin characters just by hovering over the phone.”
