Sanskrit Proofreading Tool

Added on: 09-04-2026

How to use this tool

This html tool was created for comparing commentary Yoga Sudhākara by Sadāśiva Brahmendra (Sadāsivendra Sarasvatī) on Yoga Sūtra-s of Patanjali. The commentary is not readily available and the old books at archive.org have not so good scanned OCR Full text. Hence there may be typos in scanned OCR file or image. The "Load Sample" Button contains commentary on one Sutra.

On Left Pane (source) --> Copy the source or reference Sanskrit text against which the new text needs to be proof read.

On Right pane (target) --> Copy the Sanskrit text which you need to check for spelling mistakes / typos.

Press "Compare" button 

In a new window both texts will be displayed with words that have different spelling or they have different spacing.

The differently spelled same Sanskrit words are also copied in the next html tool which converts Devanāgari to Roman IAST and Vice Versa.

To understand, click the "Load Sample" button.

Though care has been taken to make it as accuracte as possible, the tool may not be perfect, so one needs to check things manually.

Devanāgarī to Roman IAST works well, but at times the reverse Roman IAST to Devanāgarī does not render transliteration correctly and may retain English / Latin characters along with Devanāgarī letters in a word. 

Independent use of Devanāgarī ↔ IAST Roman Tool

This tool can be used independently. 

Type or paste sanskrit words in left pane and  click "Devanāgarī to Roman Button or 

Type or paste in right pane and click "Roman to Devanāgarī" Button.
