The tiengviet package is a Flutter/Dart utility designed to convert Vietnamese text with diacritical marks (accented characters) into their corresponding unaccented versions. It simplifies processing and comparison of Vietnamese strings by removing tones and special characters, making it ideal for search functions, data normalization, or user input handling. The package supports all major platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring cross-platform consistency. It is lightweight and easy to integrate via pub.dev.
