diCrunch 2.0 beta - Diacritic Converter development

[raga]

diCrunch is a diacritic conversion utility produced by Madhavananda and Gaudiya Kutir. The tool converts text between all common transliteration conventions and some Indic scripts. Version 2.0 is currently in the beta development phase, and we're inviting the community to test and give feedback on the tool.
