It supports conversion between native scripts (Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Gujarati, Gurumukhi, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi) and romanization schemes (Harvard-Kyoto, IAST, ITRANS, SLP1, WX). The package includes utilities for fixing lazy anusvaara and visarga characters, converting to lay Indian search terms, and customizing transliteration schemes.\n\nBeyond the Python API, it provides a command-line tool (`sanscript`) for batch transliteration of files or standard input, with support for reading from and writing to files or pipes. The library is actively maintained, has no known security vulnerabilities, and depends only on lightweight utilities like regex, typer, and tqdm.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and installs with low friction. It fills a specific and well-defined role for Indic script conversion with a stable API and both programmatic and CLI interfaces. Install it if you need to work with Indic scripts or transliteration schemes."},"id":"indic-transliteration","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/indic-transliteration","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/indic-transliteration.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/indic-transliteration/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"indic-transliteration","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Transliteration tools to convert text in one indic script encoding to another"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":95224,"position":13277,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.3.82"}
