GVP Word Add-in

This program runs on Microsoft Windows OS only (not Mac OS). It is an add-in for the Microsoft Word 2010 and later and appears as an additional GVP tab in the top menu of the Microsoft Word.

Features of the program

• Converts texts from old incompatible fonts (AARitu family, Balaram etc.) into Unicode.
• Transliterates Devanagari script into Roman script. This is helpful in publishing any book in which sections of Sanskrit verse or prose are to be converted into Roman script with diacritics.
• Helps typing diacritical marks into the text.
