I want to convert unicode to monotonic and ascii

This is a side question from my Memrise post from a while ago. Viz. http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/vie ... ise#p11400.
I am working on a better Memrise list for (Sinophone initially and later Anglophone) beginners that addresses the concerns / suggestions raised by JR in the other thread.
The work-in-progress lists are available at;
Chinese - "通用希腊语高频词汇" http://www.memrise.com/course/136782/
English - "Frequent NT Greek words" http://www.memrise.com/course/135672/
(1) What are the most common keyboard layouts for inputing Greek? Is there a de facto industry standard? My end goal is that I want to let users from a number of typing backgrounds input "transliterated" Greek on computers where the Greek IME is not installed (and they don't have the right to install an IME).
(2) Is there a non-labourious way to go from "ἀγαθός" to "ἀγαθός _ἀγαθός _ἀγαθος _αγαθός _αγαθός _αγαθος"? And from "ἀγαπάω ἀγαπῶ ἀγαπᾶν" to "ἀγαπάω _ἀγαπάω _ἀγαπαω _αγαπάω _αγαπάω _αγαπαω _ἀγαπῶ _ἀγαπω _αγαπῶ _αγαπω _ἀγαπᾶν _ἀγαπαν _αγαπᾶν _αγαπαν"
Is there a readily available way to get from "sin, crime" to "sin, crime _sin _crime _crime, sin"?

To be flexible for beginners (and people using school / public computers where they can't install a Greek IME) I am giving the vocab learning lists maximum flexibility for input methods. That has raised a number of issues:Jonathan Robie wrote:It requires you to get your accents and breathing marks right, which is good practice, but might be overwhelming for beginners.

Also I am arranging the glosses to have a reasonable degree of flexibility and a choice of common variants that can be inputed severally or in a number of combinations.Jonathan Robie wrote:Near synonyms and synonyms may have English glosses that are indistinguishable. I find it aggravating when it asks for a word that means 'send' and I give it one, but not the one it was thinking about. This is only a problem for a relatively small number of words.
