Bigorna - A Toolkit for Orthography Migration Challenges

What is Bigorna?

Bigorna is an open source project which aims to develop tools to help in general orthography migration challenges.

It started motivated by the 1990 Portuguese Language Orthographic Agreement, and currently has produced an updated European Portuguese spellchecker dictionary, converters of text from pre-1990 to post-1990 Brazilian and European Portuguese, a Portuguese variant classifier and a lexical comparison tool.
