Bengali writing

> Do the journalists at the newspapers also use this Rupasi system?

 

I have found a very good program called iLeap. It is common around India and

is complatible with about 10 Indian Languages (Hindi, Bengali, Assamese,

Punjabi, Marathi, Oriya, Tamil, Telegu, Gujarathi, Kannada, Malayalam, and

Sankrit). It gives options like allowing you to 'type how it sounds' and the

programs will automaticaly make the conjunct letters and so on. For example

to write ®r… you would type shrI Also, you can also type like using a

bengali keyboard. It has an on-screen keyboard to make typing like that

easier (You can also disable it). It also has spell-check and grammer-check

for most of the languages. It also has facility to change diakritic text to

an Inian language font and back. (But not our fonts ) Plus it has a whole

lot more features like exporting, e-mail, etc. Lite versions, 30 day trail

versions, and small single language versions are available for free (most

from their website www.ileap.com ?) or you can buy the full version for

about RS 500-1000 (Last I heard).

 

I'm not sure if the journalists use it that much but I know the version I

had was developed for the Indian Income Tax Offices.
