Aksharamukha aims to provide transliteration a.k.a script conversion between various scripts within the Indic cultural sphere. Apart from the simple mapping of characters, Askharamukha also attempts to implement various script/language-specific orthographic conventions (where known) such as vowel lengths, gemination and nasalization. It also provides several customization options to fine-tune and get the desired orthography.
It is a total rewrite of the PHP-based version available here and here.
Aksharamukha as of now supports 85 scripts and 8 romanization methods.

You can use the docker-compose.yaml file to orchestrate the containers. It will start the necessary containers for the frontend/backend and, also, bind the webapp to localhost:12345. This would be easiest way to run the app locally.
The front end is written using Quasar and Vue. Use npm install to install all the dependencies and then use quasar dev to start the front end. Also, please point the api to localhost at mixins/ScriptMixin.js.
The back end is written in Python 3 with Flask. After installing all the necessary libraries, use python3 main.py to intialize the backend server.
Aksharamukha is also available as a Python package.
Use the following command to install the package.
pip install aksharamukha
You can read the usage instructions here
There is a REST API for reasonable public consumption. You can read about it here
Frequently used script resources have been made available as JSON files under aksharamukha-back/resources.
You can find the overall mapping as a JSON file here. Those characters that have approximate mappings to the generic Indic scheme are marked with 'ʽ' (U+02BD). For instance, Thaana (Dhivehi) does not have /kha/, which has therefore been approximated to /kaʽ/. You may want to remove the character as part of post-processing. Similarly with Phags-Pa, /Ṿ/ was extraneously added to differentiate between vowels, vowel-signs and aspirate-markers. You have to remove that character as well after the mapping has been done.
The Script Matrix data is available here. The file suffix indicates the guiding romanization and the how the characters have been divided into chunks. For instance, << script_matrix_IAST5.json >> indicates that the guiding script is IAST and the characters have been divided into chunks of 5.
The syllabary for each script can be found here. The file includes the list of vowels, consonants and the complete consonant-vowel compounds for each script.
The list of all possible Sanskrit (and Pali) conjuncts for the scripts can be found here and here. The conjuncts have been split based on the number of consonants in the conjuncts. (The folder had to be split due to Google App Engine limitations). The suffix indicates the appended vowel. For instance, << conjuncts_Gujarati_o.json >> indicated all the possible Gujarati conjuncts that occurs with the vowel /o/.
The list of common letters between two scripts can be found here, here and here. (The folder had to be split due to Google App Engine limitations as above).
