Summary

Paste Korean Hangul and get the Revised Romanization (RR) instantly, with a syllable breakdown showing each initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant.

How it works

  1. Paste or type Korean Hangul text into the input box.
  2. Each Hangul syllable block is decomposed into its initial consonant (초성), vowel (중성), and final consonant (종성).
  3. The tool maps each component to its Revised Romanization equivalent using official RR tables.
  4. Key phonetic rules are applied: ㄱ/ㄷ/ㅂ become g/d/b between vowels and k/t/p at syllable-final position.
  5. The breakdown table shows each syllable with its RR components side by side.
  6. Non-Hangul characters (spaces, punctuation, Latin) pass through unchanged.
