Introduction:
Hiragana Converter. V1.0.9
With this tool you can convert Rōmaji to Hiragana.
This tool is meant to quickly convert some text, for a more perminent solution of typing Japanese see the "Setting up Japanese for [your system]" guides on this page of the Tae Kim's Guide To Japanese site.
To learn Hiragana I would like to advice this guide from TOFUGO.

Instructions:
1. Enter any text into the "Enter Rōmaji" box.
2. The tool will try to convert (where possible) the text to Hiragana.
3. The converted text can be found in the "Hiragana result" box.
4. Any unconvertible characters / sounds will remain as is.
5. A double nn followed by a space will become a single ん.
6a. Some "Double consonants" (pp, kk, tt, ss & tc) will automatically create a sokuon / small tsu (っ).
6b. Example: kk will become っk and issho will become いっしょ .
6c. This can be escaped by typing a \ before the double consonants (i\ssho becomes いsしょ) .
6d. The small tsu (っ) can also be created by manually entering "ltsu" (for lowercase tsu).
7a. A normal dot ( . ) will be translated to a 。.
7b. A normal dot can be created by typing \. (backslash dot).
8a. A くろまる ( ・ ) dot can be created by typing a / (forward slash).
8b. A normal / backslash can be created by typing \/ (backslash + forward slash).
9a. A - will be translated to a ー.
9b. And the same as with the others this can be escaped with an \ (\- becomes -).
10a. A double backslash ( \\ ) will become a single slash and ignore the \., sokuon and other escape rules.
10b. Example: \\. will become \。 and \\kka will become \っか.
11a. Single spaces will be removed, to create a single space two spaces need to be entered.
11b. Example: "juu ni" will become じゅうに, but "juu ni" will become じゅう に.
