The Essential UTAU Toolkit

The Essential UTAU Toolkit is a collection of programs used for problems involving romaji/hiragana differences, as well as locale issues.

Operation
The programs work on code released from The Code Project, and involve text replacement. They work on a byte-by-byte level, allowing the programs to work even on computers that do not have Japanese locale installed. All of the programs leave backup copies to ensure that there is no permanent damage done.

The programs run on Java, requiring that a recent version of Java be installed.

UST Converter
The UST converter can convert .ust files from hiragana to romaji or vice versa. This allows use of the files on a voicebank encoded in kana or romaji. Also, even if Japanese locale is not installed, a romaji .ust file converted to hiragana-gibberish will work with a voicebank encoded in hiragana-gibberish.

As diphone arrow signs occasionally do not work on computers without Japanese locale, there is also an option to remove diphone marks or to convert them to a state usable by normal computers.

Voicebank Aliaser
The voicebank aliaser can add hiragana aliases to a romaji voicebank or romaji aliases to a hiragana voicebank. It can do the same for voicebanks with diphone marks, along with converting aliases with diphone marks to a state usable by normal computers.
