Midway through the journey of my earthly life, I have created my first crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. I do not yet know what may come of it, but without trying, I would never have found out, would I?
But let us proceed in order…
If this post is not the first thing you are reading on my website, you most likely already know that this same site has long been hosting several free and unlimited tools for transliterating into the Latin alphabet — that is, for the romanization — of certain non-Latin scripts (Armenian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Greek, Georgian, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Russian, and Ukrainian). Some of these transliterators of mine are relatively popular among users, while others are not at all. Yet each of these tools has been created with the same attention to detail and with the same goal: to build a useful, accurate, and at the same time easy-to-use instrument capable of transliterating (romanization) its «own» alphabet according to any of the existing systems of rules. I believe I have succeeded in achieving this goal — although I continue to hope for constructive feedback from specialists.
I have now decided that the time has come to add another tool to my existing transliterators: a Hebrew alphabet transliterator. Naturally, the underlying idea remains the same technical principle: the transliteration of the Hebrew alphabet should be possible according to the rules of any existing system (whether still in use today or not). I already have a theoretical understanding of how to create such a tool, and I have even gathered all the necessary academic material to work on it. I am ready to begin the work, but…
To do this kind of work properly — work that is rather tedious, extensive, and requires attention to a large number of small details (you may, for instance, ask specialists how many ways there are to represent vowels…) — I need to free up a considerable amount of working time: time during which I will not be distracted by paid professional tasks. This is why I have launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. By following the link, you will be able to read about the technical features of the product I have in mind and to take part — if you have the desire and the financial means — in raising funds for the creation of my Hebrew alphabet transliterator. I should immediately point out that all contributors will not only be guaranteed a free and high-quality tool, but will also be able (if they wish) to obtain advertising space on the tool’s page or on any other page of my website.
If my proposal has caught your interest, please take part in the Indiegogo campaign. And/or tell those who might be interested about it: it would give me great pleasure if everything were to work out.

P.S. All those who would like to provide financial support for other parts of my website (or indeed for the entire site as a whole) may do so at any convenient time using one of the methods listed on the dedicated page.
