About this scheme

Greek was the first script in the Mediterranean to distinguish vowels from consonants, and for two and a half millennia people have been finding ways to write Greek words with Latin letters. Our scheme follows the modern-pronunciation tradition — β as v, not b — which matches how Greek is actually spoken today, rather than classical Erasmian conventions. For transliterating ancient Greek texts, you may want a scholarly system like ALA-LC or ISO 843.
