Quillpad’s statistical machine learning based approach is a major improvement over previous deterministic ITRANS based algorithms. Quillpad claims that given sufficient training data, they can add support for any Indian Indian language in just a few hours . With the latest addition of Punjabi and Nepal, it seems that is exactly what they are doing. In addition, they offer support for Hindi, Bengali, Gujurati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu.
