languages for working of this software. This will install all the Indian fonts
that is required for the editor.

Languages in your system
What does UniEdit offer
that Tamil Editor or Tamil Mail does not?
UniEdit has more
features than other editors that are offered free by us. To start with UniEdit
is multilingual. Now you can use the Editor for English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil
and Telugu. More Indian languages will be added to this list. Like our
predecessors, we provide on-screen keyboard, which we we were first to introduce
10 years ago and today this has been accepted as a standard by all
Word-Processor manufacturer. The program can open files based on TSCII and TAB
standards, and thus is compatible with both Tamil Editor and Tamil Mail. Just
like all our programs, you can use UniEdit to send mails- only this time in
multiple languages. What's more - you do not need to send the fonts!
What about Keyboard
Layouts? Are there any standards followed?
UniEdit comes with a minimum
of three layouts. This is by far more advanced than not only our other word
Processors, but also commercially available Word processors, which are sold at a
hefty price. With a very captivating design, the keyboard layout is easy to use
and yet do not occupy much of your screen. You can dock the keyboard or leave it
floating
Each Language has a
minimum of three Keyboard layouts. DOE standard, Typewriter standard - based on
Godrej Typewriter layout and Phonetic Layout.
What is a
Phonetic Keyboard? How do I use it?
This is like typing your language in English
and let the program replace with right characters of the intended language. For
Ex: say you want to type a name like Ramakrishna. With Phonetic layout, you will
type as rAmakrishnA. Note the small letters and Caps letter combinations. This
is to differentiate the different Phonetic sounds. If you have selected Hindi as
your language, the screen would now display रामक्रिश्ना and if you had selected
Kannada, then the same keystrokes would display: ರಾಮಕ್ರಿಶ್ನಾ. This is so
simple!
What about Mails?
Do I have to send the fonts to the recipients?
This is the
beauty of UNICODE. You do not need to send any fonts when you send mail. If the
user is running Windows XP or Windows 2000, he/she should have no problem in
reading your mails.
Can I install the
software in my Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows ME system?
Unfortunately no. This package is for Windows
2000, XP and higher Operating Systems (OS). This is due to the fact that these
OS supports Indian Languages. However any mail or text sent from UniEdit can be
read from Windows 98-SE and Windows ME system, provided Indian Languages are
loaded.
Is there a Linux
version of this Software?
Latest Linux kernels support UNICODE. However they only support True type font
and not Open Type fonts which are necessary for proper rendering of Indian
Language characters. There are plans to import this into Linux as well. this
will be advertised in a few months after our initial Windows Programs are ready.
