About Us

Lipyantara (लिप्यांतरा) is a transliteration application that converts text from one script to another script. For this purpose, we use a unicode character mapping mechanism. This works well for all the Indian languages using Brahmi based scripts (which covers all Indian languages except for Urdu and Kashmiri in Arabic script).

For transliteration into Roman script and to support Urdu and Kashimir in Arabic script, we are using the IndicTrans model (Bhat et. al, 2015). Transliteration from/to Arabic script (Urdu/Kashmiri) is not available at present.
