Google Indic Transliteration has some intelligence added to the data base; Sanskrit sanskrit samskrit saMskrit give the संस्कृत. The letter अ on the top left needs to depressed to get the Devanagari characters and can be used as a toggle between Devanagari and Roman. hindi/Hindi and hiMdi give different output, first with nasal n and next with anusvAra.
