Three South American country names are given in Georgian script with their English forms. Click any Georgian letter — every occurrence of it lights up across every word, and the alphabet pad below the rosetta jumps to its slot so you can type the sound you think it makes. As you fill the pad, the typed phoneme appears as a small mark under each letter, so the two test words become readable as you build the alphabet. click any letter again to deselect · the scratchpad tab on the right edge has free-form notes and a drawing surface.

Each chip is one Georgian letter from the corpus. Click it (or any matching letter in the rosetta) to light up its occurrences and focus the input — type the Latin sound. The sound shows up under every instance of that letter and saves across reloads.
