While scanned images of the Deseret corpus are widely available on the web, they are not text-searchable, limiting their utility to researchers.

Our "phonemic" transcription renders Deseret Alphabet texts in SAMPA (Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet), permitting researchers to search the texts by (more or less) phonemic spelling without using the Deseret characters themselves.

For those who prefer a text-readable file already in the Deseret Alphabet, we have prepared transcriptions in Deseret (Unicode), as well.

This material is continually being updated as we transcribe and proofread.

If you find errors in the transcriptions, please report them to rshosted@illinois.edu. We will acknowledge your contribution.
