Kannada Conversion Tools for Docs

Transliterate & convert legacy Kannada (Nudi/Baraha) fonts to Unicode

Three Kannada text utilities in one Google Docs card — type in English and get
Kannada script, convert legacy Nudi / Baraha-style fonts into real Unicode, and
clean up your text, all in place inside the document.

WHAT IT DOES
• Transliteration — type Kannada phonetically in Latin (namaskara) and convert
  to Kannada script (ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ).
• Legacy font to Unicode — convert legacy ASCII Kannada fonts (Nudi / Baraha
  byte layouts) into proper Unicode Kannada that renders everywhere and searches.
• Cleanup — collapse repeated spaces, strip stray zero-width / control
  characters, and tidy spacing around punctuation (including the danda ।).
• Scope selector — apply to the whole document or the current selection.
• Greedy longest-match transliteration — conjuncts (virama) and dependent vowel
  signs (matras) resolve correctly; existing Kannada, digits, and punctuation
  pass through untouched.

GREAT FOR
• Offices and writers migrating legacy Kannada documents into Unicode.
• Typing Kannada phonetically in English and getting clean script.
• Tidying up mixed or messy Kannada text without leaving Docs.

FREE & PRO
• Free: all three modes, selection or whole document — 30 conversions/month,
  no signup.
• Pro: unlimited conversions. 14-day full trial.

Honest note: the conversion maps are pragmatic and representative — they solve
common cases out of the box and are designed to be extended, not exhaustive.

Privacy-first: the add-on only touches your active document — nothing is
uploaded to a third-party site. Fast support and frequent updates.
