Product Information

AutoUniConv is a charset converter that automatically detects the charset of a given textual input and converts it to Unicode.

  • Character sets of a variety of families are supported, covering ISO-8859, Windows, Code Pages, Mac and Unicode encodings. A more detailed list is provided in the supported charsets.
  • You need not know or specify the input's charset - AutoUniConv includes an auto detection for charsets!
  • The output will be encoded in one of the Unicode Transformation Format schemes. You may choose from a set of UTFs according to your needs. For example UTF-8 is appropriate for web applications whereas UTF-16 is the better choice if you work with Java or Windows.

As a result AutoUniConv is particularly suitable if you do not know the input's charset or if you want to process a huge amount of documents that may be encoded in different charsets.

  • AutoUniConv easily unifies your data to enable an optimal processing.
  • The data will be encoded in an universal character set provided by the Unicode standard. You benefit from a widely spread character set that allows to represent every language of the world in a single charset.
  • This charset converter helps you build a basis that already catches some common errors, prevents unreadable characters and leads to reliable processing. Giving you the possibility to achieve better results for your applications.
