Aksharamukha: Script Converte

Virtual Vinodh

About this app

Aksharamukha aims to provide script conversion between various scripts within the Indic cultural sphere (South Asia, Central Asia, South East Asia, East Asia). These include historic scripts, contemporary Brahmi-derived/inspired scripts, scripts invented for minority Indian languages, scripts that have co-existed with Indic scripts (like Avestan) or linguistically related scripts like Old Persian. It also specifically provides lossless transliteration between the main Indian scripts (along with Sinhala).

Apart from the simple mapping of characters, Aksharamukha also attempts to implement various script/language-specific orthographic conventions (where known) such as vowel lengths, gemination and nasalization. It also provides several customization options to fine-tune and get the desired orthography.

Ratings and reviews

I am enthusiastic about ancient scripts and I always look for sources to read & write them. This app helps a lot to translate text back and forth to make the learning process easy. One request is to include Yajnadeva's work too in the app. This will be a great addition to understand Sindhu Ghati/Harappan script.

Very very useful application. I expect you to add more scripts like Nandi nagari, Pallava..... It would have been better it had been able to write " Dvitvakshara" and " samyuktakshara" more accurately. Just it is arranging them by putting a horizontal line over the letter. If it is corrected , it will be more accurate. Anyhow i thank you once and again !!!!

Please read my full review. This is the best transcription app I've ever used. Right now I am using it to learn urdu. It has a option called scripts. It shows every vowel, consonants, conjuncts and etc. This is the best thing because 6-8 months back I was learning Bangla scripts with the help of many sites and apps. None of them had everything in one like one app has just consonents and other has just Conjuncts that too only Important ones and not all. Only one problem Image share not working.
