Learn to actually read and write the galaxy's alphabet with Academy | Aurebesh Trainer! Academy turns a curious glance at galactic writing into real fluency. Study every glyph, drill in both directions, test yourself under pressure, and watch your rank climb, all inside a pure-black, holographic interface built for focus. No ads, no subscriptions, no account, and nothing leaves your device. Databank, Every Glyph Explained: A complete reference to the writing system: all 26 letters with their canonical names (Aurek, Besh, Cresh...), the 8 digraphs (Cherek, Enth, Onith, Krenth, Nen, Orenth, Shen, Thesh), plus numerals and punctuation. Search by letter or by name, and tap any tile for a full-screen card showing the glyph, its name, and what it writes. Two-Way Drills, the Core of the Training: Read drills show you a glyph or word in Aurebesh and you type what it says. Write drills flip it: English appears and you spell it out on the in-app Aurebesh keyboard, complete with cursor keys, a digraph page, and a symbols page. Stuck on a glyph? Pull up the Translation Key mid-drill without losing your session, reveal the answer, or skip and move on. Eleven Categories, Thousands of Words: Start with First Steps (single letters, numerals and marks), then work through General, Characters, Species, Planets, Vehicles, Weapons, Andor, The Mandalorian, LEGO Sets, or Everything, over 3,200 words in total. Each category tracks its own accuracy so you can see exactly where you're strong. Shuffle Mode, Learn Glyphs and Not Positions: Turn on keyboard shuffle and the letter keys rearrange after every solved word, so you're forced to recognize each glyph instead of memorizing where it sits on the keyboard. Optional hints show the Latin letter and its canonical name under each key while you're still learning. The Trials: A rapid-fire multiple-choice gauntlet with three lives. Identify a glyph, pick the glyph that writes a letter, or name it outright. Build a streak, chase your high score, and earn XP for every run. Transcode, Fourteen Galactic Scripts: A live translator that renders as you type, across six Aurebesh typefaces (Basic, Core, Droid, Equinox, Cantina, Pixel), both Mando'a variants, and six Outer Rim scripts. Toggle digraph rendering so ch, ae, eo, kh, ng, oo, sh and th become single glyphs, scale the text, copy it, share it, save notes, and browse a 50-entry history of everything you've transcoded. Holocron, Your Progress Made Visible: Earn XP for every correct answer and climb ten ranks from Youngling to Grand Master. Track day streaks, best answer streaks, overall accuracy, per-category mastery bars, and unlock twelve achievements along the way. Everything is saved automatically. Make It Yours: Attune the whole interface to one of twelve accent crystals, or mix your own color. Pick your Aurebesh typeface and your English display font, tint the starfield, switch it between dynamic, static and off, add retro scanline overlay, and turn on Aurebesh Immersion to render the app's own interface in the script you're learning. Offline and Private: Academy works entirely offline. There are no ads, no subscriptions, no accounts, no analytics, and no data collection of any kind. Your progress lives on your device and nowhere else. Built for Learners: Whether you want to read the signage in the background of your favorite scene, write notes only you can decode, or just enjoy learning a new writing system, Academy gives you the reference, the practice, and the proof you're improving. Download Today: Begin your training with Academy | Aurebesh Trainer and learn to read the galaxy. --- Academy is a fan-made learning tool.
