A versatile automatic Romanization system for geographic names; it allows you to Romanize geographic names written in native language script, just paste the names, type, or load a file of names and the system will start to do very complex procedures that handle a lot of advanced tasks such as vocalization, annotation, script conversion, customizing the output and more. Romanizer is very flexible and its setting panel is easy and straight forward.

Runs in one process, this allows it to start much faster when multiple sources of names are selected to load, to reduce memory usage.

Supports Unicode, which is the preferred encoding method for multilingual support. Not only can you open Unicode files but also you can edit files as Unicode so you can display multiple languages at the same time.

Supports drag and drop, enabling you to copy or move selected text between the Romanizer and other supported applications such as MS Word, MS Excel, or Internet Explorer.
