Thanks everyone for the feedback on the Beta 1 version of this software. I have now teamed up with a linguist and have set up a public project for this. Please be a part of this project. We've now released Beta 2: - http://www.cs.niu.edu/~deepak/roman2unicode/ With your participation, we hope to make this an exciting and useful project.
