English to romaji converter

This program converts english words, names and sentences to romaji by transforming them to phonemes and then converting the phonemes to romaji.
Romaji (ローマ字) is the romanization (transliteration to latin characters) of the japanese writing.
This page therefore contains an english to japanese writing -converter.

Sorry, I do not have a reverse converter (katakana to english) here.

The English to phonemes tables and code were directly copied from the rsynth-2.0 project (speech synthesizer), which copies the data from a publication from 1976.
Phoneme code to romaji conversion is based on a direct conversion with no dictionary, so you might get different results than when looking at your dictionary.
