Frequently asked questions

Short answers about the new alphabet, files, privacy and Pro.

General

Is it free?

Yes. Up to 5,000 words at a time and files up to 1 MB are free, with no sign-up. Pro covers larger files and several files at once.

Is this a translator?

No. Yozuv changes the alphabet, not the language: Uzbek text stays Uzbek, written in Cyrillic, Latin or new Latin letters.

Why are some words yellow?

Some words cannot be converted with certainty by rules alone: Cyrillic ц, for example, becomes s or ts in Latin (цирк → sirk, лицей → litsey). Such words, when not in the dictionary, are highlighted — give them a quick check.

How do I fix a wrongly converted word?

Press the pencil next to a yellow word and type the right spelling. Yozuv remembers it in this browser. You can also report it: select the word in the result and press “Report a wrong word”.

Which apostrophe is used: oʻ or o'?

By the standard, oʻ, gʻ use the sign ʻ and the tutuq uses ʼ, as on lex.uz. If you need it, pick the plain ' in the “Apostrophe” menu under the result.

The new 2026 alphabet

When does the new Uzbek alphabet take effect?

The law was signed on 21 October 2026 and takes effect on 22 April 2027. More: the new Latin alphabet.

Which letters changed?

Four letters: Oʻ → Ö, Gʻ → Ğ, Sh → Ş, Ch → Ç. All others stay as in the 1995 Latin alphabet.

What happened to Ng?

Ng is no longer a separate letter, but words are spelled the same: tong, ming. The alphabet has 28 letters and the tutuq sign.

How do I type the new letters?

The site has letter buttons under the text box. On a computer, add the Turkish Q keyboard — it has ö, ğ, ş, ç. On a phone, press and hold o, g, s or c.

Files

Can I convert a Word or PDF file?

Yes. A Word (.docx) document is converted in place, keeping formatting, tables and pictures. From a PDF only the text is taken. Scanned PDFs and old .doc files cannot be read.

How large a file can I convert?

Free: up to 1 MB and PDFs up to 30 pages. Pro: up to 12 MB, PDFs up to 300 pages and up to 20 files at once.

In which format can I download the result?

Text (TXT), Word (.docx) or PDF. Several files download as one .zip archive (Pro).

Privacy and offline use

Is my text sent to a server?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser: neither the text nor the file is sent anywhere or stored. Privacy policy.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Once you have opened the site, it works offline. On a phone, choose “Add to Home screen” in the browser menu to install it as an app.

Word add-in

What is the Word add-in?

A “Yozuv” tab appears on Word's ribbon with Кирилл, Lotin 1995 and Lotin 2026 buttons — the document is converted without losing its formatting. The add-in is free and has no limits.

How do I install it?

Step-by-step guide for Windows, Mac and Word on the web: Word add-in.

Free and Pro

What does Pro give me?

Unlimited text, files up to 12 MB, PDFs up to 300 pages and 20 files at once. Still all in your browser. More.

How much is Pro?

19 000 so'm a month or 149 000 so'm a year (about 12 400 so'm a month).

How do I get Pro?

Through our Telegram bot @yozuvlar_app_bot. After payment the bot sends a key — paste it into the Pro window on the site.

Will I be charged automatically?

No. When the key expires, Pro switches off and the site goes back to the free plan. Nothing is lost.
