Can java be used for transliteration for typing russian letters?

I know I can do it within processing and then copy and paste....but to do it outside the processing IDE would I need to use something different like autoit?

Which standard are you using?

I don't know what tools in Java already exist, but you can use existing Java tools in Processing -- or if it involves a simple lookup table for replacements then you could implement that easily.

No I want to go the opposite direction...I have a latin keyboard...and want to write russian using a public computer. Which I cant install stuff on the computer...only on my USB.

So you want to:

1. type Russian into a Processing sketch?
2. or use a Processing sketch to help you type Russian into other programs on a public computer -- e.g. Chrome, Word, etc...?

The second is probably not possible. For the first:

Can you please be much more specific about what specific Roman typing method you want into convert into what specific Cyrillic encoding?

There is www.letterzu.com but it doesnt work for me. So I think I need to make my own version of that program...also that is a very old program....I am just not sure that the JVM is capable of converting my typing to Cryllic text on the fly.

Ok but if you could program the sketch in processing and compile it to an executable exe file you could run it from your usb stick?

but to do it outside the processing IDE

But I am not sure even if it works in the sketch how we would get your resulting text out of the sketch (copy to clipboard) let alone your sketch would facilitate you to be able to write in another program like autoit would do it....

Well phonetic...and I have an idea....well I think I could make a chrome extension using processing....but I think I found what I need https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/textverter-for-russianeng/cknpkphhcopjlhdcomncmkpgfbmfaapb

and can install it on a portable version of chrome.....

You cannot write a Chrome extensions using Processing (Java).

You can write a Chrome extensions using p5.js.
