Arulalan, wrote a font converter for Tamil with 25 tamil encodes.

http://tuxcoder.wordpress.com/2014/08/15/release-txt2unicode-converter-v4-0-velli/


code : https://github.com/arulalant/txt2unicode

It is merged with open-tamil library too.

https://github.com/arcturusannamalai/open-tamil

Currently it is a command line application and many non-tech people
feel tough to install and use it.

We need a web application with the following features.

1. one huge text area to get input text in any encoding
2. List of all 25 encodings available as option buttons to choose one.
3. A button with label "Convert to Unicode"

After pressing the button, the text should be converted into unicode
using the above mentioned python code/library.

4. The converted text should be displayed in another text area.

Example : http://www.suratha.com/reader.htm

This does the conversion using javascript.

We ported this into python and now we need a web front end for python backend.

Can anyone do this as a open source project?

Thanks.
