Remove accents from letters

takefive · 09-27-2014, 03:38 PM

I have a russian book in which all words have the stress explicitly marked by using an acute accent on the vowel on which the stress falls. This confuses the dictionary lookup, probably because it isn't able to match the accented letters to the normal ones.

Because of this, I would like to get rid of the accents, i.e. replace а́ with a, е́ with е, and so on. Is there a way to do this? Thanks

One of the options in calibre's conversion dialog is to "Transliterate unicode characters to ASCII".
