Description
A text converter (not translator) between Indian scripts and English: ITRANS, ISO-15919, IAST. Also Katapayadi sankhya. Parivartan converts text between Indian scripts and English transliteration. It is a converter, not a translator: it changes the script and spelling, not the meaning. WHAT IT DOES - Convert English typed in a transliteration scheme into an Indian script. - Convert text in an Indian script into English transliteration. - Convert text from one Indian script into another. - Convert to the Katapayadi sankhya (number) system. India shares many texts across languages that use different scripts, so you can keep a text in one script and reach readers of others. It also helps people who understand a spoken Indian language but cannot read its script: convert it to English transliteration and read it comfortably. And you can type in one format, then convert before posting on social networks, blogs, forums, or email. INPUT FORMATS - Any Indian script - auto-detects the script you selected. - English (ITRANS) - English (ISO 15919) - English (IAST) - General English - accepts loose, casual spelling. Less precise, so prefer ITRANS / ISO 15919 / IAST when accuracy matters. SUPPORTED SCRIPTS Devanagari (Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi), Telugu, Kannada, Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali, Gurmukhi (Punjabi), Malayalam, and Oriya (Odia) - plus the Katapayadi sankhya system. TWO WAYS TO USE 1. Right-click menu: select text on a web page (or inside a text box), right-click, choose Parivartan, then pick the input format and target script. The selection is converted in place - handy for composing posts, emails, or messages in your preferred script. Your most recent choice is kept at the top of the menu for one-click reuse. 2. Toolbar popup: click the Parivartan toolbar button to type or paste text, pick the input format and target script, watch the result update live, and copy it - without changing any page content. Works on normal web pages and on local HTML files (file://). On Chrome and Edge, turn on "Allow access to file URLs" on the extension's details page to use it on local files. OPTIONS - Prefer ASCII digits: leave digits 0-9 as-is instead of converting them to the Indian script (on by default). PRIVACY All conversion happens locally in your browser. Parivartan makes no network requests, collects no data, and uses minimal permissions - it accesses a page only when you explicitly run a conversion on it.
