C-DAC Releases Language Enabling Software

PUNE: Now, the Microsoft Office tool can be used in 19 different languages with the help of a software developed by the Centre for Development of
Advanced Computing (C-DAC). With over 20 years of pioneering research in language technology, C-DAC, through its Graphics and Intelligence based Script Technology (GIST), has developed intelligent script manager (ISM) V6, which has features like spell check, synonyms and a dictionary in multiple fonts.

Very helpful in the publishing industry, the software will work exactly as Microsoft Office tools work, but in 19 various languages. Speaking to TOI, Mahesh Kulkarni, head of the GIST group said, "ISM V6 will cater to diverse user requirements from word processing, database applications, web based applications, publishing and even custom built software. Whatever applications are available in Microsoft Word, will be available in Indian languages with this software."

All the user needs to do is install this software in the desired operating system and work on it. The keyboard for the languages will also come with a software kit which will be inbuilt.

The software supports Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, Manipuri, Nepali, Konkani, Bodo, Santhali, Maithili and Dogri, besides English.
