Is the output historically accurate?
The Old English applies the major documented features of Old English according to mainstream scholarship. Some details remain debated; for academic publication or permanent inscription, have output reviewed by a specialist.
How long can my input be?

Can I use this for tattoos or engravings?
Treat any output as a draft only. Old English has subtleties no AI fully captures; always verify with a specialist before committing to anything permanent.
