Sound Change Applier Help

Sound Change Applier runs ordered historical sound changes over word lists in the browser or through a stateless API.

Best For
  • Applying generated or hand-written SCA rules to many words.
  • Saving and loading local JSON workspaces.
  • Batching deterministic sound changes through a REST endpoint.
Typical Workflow
  • Enter categories, rewrite rules, sound changes, and one word or entry per line.
  • Use -* markers when you need intermediate stages.
  • Apply rules, inspect output, and download results.
  • Save JSON, copy a share URL, or use the API for automated runs.
Accepted Inputs
  • SCA-style categories, rewrite rules, and sound-change rules.
  • Plain text word lists or lexicon entries.
  • Mundifex JSON workspaces or .sc workspaces.
Outputs
  • Applied word-list output.
  • Downloadable results.
  • Saved JSON workspace.
  • Share URL.
Limits And Access
  • The public API accepts up to 10,000 entries per request.
  • Browser workspaces are local unless you explicitly use the stateless API.
Troubleshooting
  • If a rule does nothing, check the environment marker and category names.
  • If output is surprising, enable intermediate stages and inspect which pass changed the word.
