A set of tools to convert the text in uzbek between latin and cyrillic

Uzbek latin cyrillic converter

This repo is for converting uzbek latin words into cyrillic in a single shot meaning in a single iteration.

The idea was inspired by the https://github.com/kodchi/uzbek-transliterator repo which is extremely slow. For example, kodchi/uzbek-transliterator repo converts 1.3K characters in about 7.86 seconds while this repo takes about 0.00188 seconds which is about 4180 times faster! Of course, the performance comes with its own cost that is accuracy. Although, it can convert most of the words, but words with some special morphological structure will be converted wrongly (for example, the word ashob will be converted as ашоб instead of асҳоб, another example is mayor which will be converted as маёр instead of майор)

For now, it only supports latin to cyrillic converter. So your contributions are always welcome.

Installation and Usage! Install using pip:

pip install uzbek_latin_cyrillic_converter

Then use it in your projects:

import uzbek_latin_cyrillic_converter

uzbek_latin_cyrillic_converter.latin_to_cyrillic("salom")

And the above will output салом
