Developer’s Description

By Devendra Parakh

Type in Hindi using iTrans scheme of transliteration.

Allows you to type in Hindi without having to remember a new keyboard layout (no font installation required as it uses the built in Indic language support provided by Windows). Also provides Auto Word Lookup and Spell check. Works in all applications that support Unicode including Internet Explorer, FireFox, MS Office (Hindi spell check for Word is included), OpenOffice.org suite (Hindi Writer Spell check also works with OpenOffice.org), Notepad, Explorer, Outlook, Windows/MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger (7 and above), Web Based E-mail (Hotmail, Yahoo Mail). The program uses the popular iTrans scheme of transliteration.

Version 1.4 adds Word Lookup feature to suggest word completions, Spell Check support for OpenOffice.org 2.0, updates the dictionary, and removes Ctrl+F12 as the TransPaste key (Alt+INS still works). Version 1.4a may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
