• • Windows users: For automatic RR conversions, download RomanWIN.zip (the Windows program) from http://mccune-reischauer.org/downloads.html#1 and unpack/install it (download size: 3,15 MB). If you use XP, switch it to run non-Unicode programs in Korean instead of your default locale language, run ROMAN.EXE and presto, there you are with more RR than you can shake a stick at. WARNING: Be careful with any file paths that contain special characters like accents. XP will likely purge entire folders. I plan on describing the procedure in detail later. If I ever actually do it, I'll put up links to here and the RR article. Wikipeditor 13:48, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

    It seems changing the locale is unnecessary. You can simply copy your hangeul from any other program and paste it into the romanizer. You won't see the hangeul, but you get romanizations nonetheless. If I remember correctly, you need to put a comma after every word instead of just spaces. Wikipeditor 19:10, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

    I have no clue whether this will work in all cases. If not, could it by any chance have something to do with (Control Panel → Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options → Regional and Landguage Options → Advanced →) Code page conversion tables?

  • Web tool for Revised Romanization (Korean) − Apart from the user-unfriendly design, this gadget is not perfect. It changes 안양 to *Annyang (should be Anyang). There is yet another (downloadable) program by 강범모, but that is even worse so I won't link to it. Wikipeditor 13:48, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Tom Kerrigan's web tool for simple romanization - Simple web page with JavaScript to romanize Korean. It is based on how Korean characters are organized in the Unicode character map.
