Tools Developed by the Vidyapeetha

Tools Developed by the Vidyapeetha :

1. Pada-Chheda :

This tool seggregates Sanskrit compund works into its constituents. This does the job of Sandhi Analyser. This tool accepts Sanskrit content in ISCII format and produces a ISCII text file, seggregating compound words into its constituents. This tool works efficiently in

Linux environment.

2. Corpus Search Manager

Corpus is a collection of large number of texts in a language. The texts in the corpus of a language are usually chosen from a diverse set of fields so that they are representative of the language. The major use of corpus is in language analysis and research which can be useful in many applications. The corpus search manager can be accessed on web at address

3. Sloka Tagging

This tool is developed to tag slokas by assigning a unique identification. This facilitates

hyperlinking of each sloka.

4. Post Editing Tools for Samasa Tagging in Vi -

This tool helps dumb terminal users to insert Samasa Tags in ISCII text in user-friendly way.

This helps to speed up Pausa form tagging in linux environment without much effort.

5. Data Seggregation Tool

This tool seggregates the original and corresponding commentaries into different files.

6.Font Converters:

Unlike English, it is not an easy task to exchange e-text among Indian languages. The problem being the e-texts
are stored in glyph format rather than the standard ISCII (or Unicode) format.Several font converters from font to ISCII and vice versa have been developed for Devnagari fonts.

7. Using Indian Language fonts for Latex:

Latex provides a good solution for printing.However it did not have good font support for ILs. With the availability of the ttf to type1 conversion, it is now possible to provide a family of type1 fonts for Latex. We have now an expertise in adapting any ttf to type1 for any Indian language. Moreover, with the help of font converters(mentioned in 1) now it is possible to convert any ISCII text to a latex format.

8. ISCII Handlers
Java provides an inbuilt support for ISCII91. Since Java has a rendering engine for Devanagari display, one can view ISCII91 files directly with Java.However a good input method was needed to help user to key-in the text
A tool for keyboard input method was available under GPL, developed by 'GATE' group.This tool has been adapted for roman w-x notation. Our contribution in this is in collecting different tools available and packaging them so that texts in ISCII91 can be handled easily.

9. Existing Search engine has been adapted for search on ISCII data and search in special domain.

10. Support for ISCII91 on XML.
Currently XML supports UTF-8 and Unicode directly. However UTF-8 is very inefficient for texts in Indian
languages(the file size increases by 300%). A style sheet has been designed to display XML file with ISCII content directly.
