Roman to Preeti Converter
Type Nepali in English letters (for example nepaal, shikshaa). You get Nepali Unicode and ready-to-use Preeti text.
Roman spelling is phonetic: aa = आ, ee = ई, sh = श, chh = छ, ksh = क्ष, gy = ज्ञ, M = ं, and {text} stays as typed. The Preeti output only looks Nepali after you apply the Preeti font. See the full typing scheme.

Why go through Unicode?
Roman input is first converted to standard Nepali Unicode, then to Preeti. That keeps conjuncts, the short-i vowel (ि) and reph (र्) in the right place, so the Preeti text looks correct in the final document.
