Hello,
I'm compiling materials for in Russian L-R. All of the books I've gathered so far don't use the letter 'ё', nothing unusual -- Russians tend to use 'e' instead of 'ё'. However, for me, a Russian learner, it would be better to have it in the texts, at least at the very beginning. Does anyone know if there is free software out there that I could use to replace the 'e' with 'ё' in the texts (these are Russian e-books in Microsoft Word 2003)?

How should it know? It could use a dictionary, but to decide, whether you mean все (all people) or всё (everything), you have to understand the text, i.e. be a human editor.
PS. I know there are commercial programs which put the pitch accents. I believe they ask you every time, a form is ambiguous. But they cost money. Edited by Cabaire on 04 August 2013 at 1:37pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If I understood correctly you have books in Microsoft Word format. In that case you can
try to use shortcut ctrl + h (find and replace) to do that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

But e is not always ё with no diacritics, often it's just e.
This wouldn't work for a Polish text that had s instead of ś everywhere, would it? :P 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've found software which does the job: Пишите по-русски. It 'yofikates' like hell, but here it comes the problem mentioned by Cabaire.
[Chuckle.]I was about to write that the book I want to work with has no word with two dots over 'e' but for 'всё'. I yofikated the whole 'Karamazov Brothers' and then it started asking about the context-dependent words... The software may be of some help to those who already know some Russian, though. Here are other programs with the same purpose. Edited by umiak on 06 August 2013 at 11:55pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
