The main goal of this project is to create open source input tools for content creation in under-represented languages in India.
It started in collaboration withStory Weaver a non-profit working towards foundational literary education for children, supported byGoogle's AI for Social Good initiative.

Most languages in India do not have digital presence due to an underdeveloped ecosystem. One of the major bottlenecks in content creation and language adoption, is difficulty to input text in several native Indian languages. Lack of stable input tools in underserved languages is huge barrier for creating digital content and NLP datasets in these languages.

This repository is developed to facilate easier experimentation with different network architecture models, reformulated objectives with minimal effort and highly tinkerable, rather than a offshelf library.

A Condensed standalone version of a simple model training, inferencing and accuracy computation is created as jupyter notebook.

Pythonic transliteration library is available asPython Package Index and also under github releases.
Follow usages inapps readme.

Transliteration models for languages are made available as releases, in a easy deployable way.
