Avalokitam

Avalokitam is a Tamil Prosody Analyzer. It analyzes all the Metrical information (yāppu) such as acai, cīr, vāypāṭu, taḷai, aṭi, toṭai etc and displays them. It also attempts to find the metre of the Text. It can recognize all the 4 major types of Tamil metre namely, veṇpā, āciriyappā, kalippā & vañcippā & the corresponding pāviṉam-s : veṇpāviṉam, āciriyappāviṉam, kalippāviṉam & vañcippāviṉam.

Indic Multi-Lingual dictionary

A desktop version that I wrote in VC++ a few years ago in college. Has a bit of crude interface. The best I could churn out in a few days :-). Searches for equivalent words in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi & English.

Grantha Fonts

There are around 5 fonts for Grantha (For detailed overview of all Grantha fonts/softwares go here). Among those, two Truetype fonts are listed here. They are very early fonts created around 1998, so they are not exactly very aesthetic in appearance. Both have the same Layout, therefore text composed in one font can be switched to the other without any loss. They don't yet have a associated Keyboard Input method.
