Aksharamukha: An Open Source Transliteration Tool

 We probably might have used the google transliteration or many other transliteration services, There is a new open source transliteration tool in town, its called Aksharamukha. This tools main objective is to transliterate the languages primarily in the South Asia ,South East Asia to Romanized scripts. Currently it supports 85 Languages. We can use either online or you can install this tool as a python package. 

To use it as an online tool goto this website.   Select the source langue and its target language and you are good to go. If you want to use it in our  computer you can use it as an python package. Run the following command 

pip3 install aksharamukha
 
Now start python3 and type 

from aksharamukha import transliterate
transliterate.process('HK', 'Telugu', 'buddhaH')

Your transliterated word will now appear in the console. Thats it.
