Understanding Kannada to English Script Conversion

Reading and understanding Kannada text digitally is essential for students, researchers, and non-native speakers living in Karnataka. Our converter parses Kannada Unicode glyphs and generates accurate Romanized spellings following standard ISO 15919 and IAST phonetic schemes.

How Romanization Works:

1. Vowels (Swaragalu): Vowels like ಅ, ಆ, ಇ, ಈ map to a, aa, i, ee respectively.

2. Consonants (Vyanjanagalu): Consonants with inherent vowel sounds map to syllables like ka, kha, ga, gha.

3. Conjunct Consonants (Ottakshara): Syllables like ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ breakdown into kar-na-ta-ka with explicit virama handling.
