Within the GORAZD Project, we have created and published a new web application that facilitates the automatic conversion of both Glagolitic and Cyrillic numeral signs into Arabic numerals and viceversa. Besides this, also the Old Church Slavonic numerals’ names are displayed. In the Glagolitic script, the displayable numeral values are until 5,999, in Cyrillic up to 9,999,999,999. The application is available under the licence of Creative Commons BY-NC 3.0. The application was created by Martin Rybenský and Štefan Pilát, assistance on the English translation was provided by Vladislav Knoll.
The Old Church Slavonic Numerals’ Converter can be found on: http://prevodnik.gorazd.org:8081

The work on our project continues as planned. We finished the revision of the entries of the first volume of the Old Church Slavonic Dictionary and we have already started to interpolate the “Addenda et corrigenda” and the English language. At the same time, we have also begun the revision of the entries of the second volume and are finishing the development of the special databases for the “Greek-Old Church Slavonic Index” and the “Dictionary of the oldest Old Church Slavonic texts”.
