In last few months, there have been some releases from various organizations including Microsoft and Google to make ODIA user friendly , particularly on Web. But those are based on TRANSLITRATION ( It converts the English words to possible odia words ) . However we believe that , our effort in making Odia more user-friendly with maximum coverages of Juktakshyara is one step ahead.

Like our previous release this one is also very user-friendly in many ways particularly in terms of its dual Keyboard typing mode , Phonetic and Modular ( Same as Akruti and Shrilipi Keyboard ) . While the first one is addressed to laymen and who don’t have much speed on keyboard, the later one is for Professional computer operator/DTP Professionals.

“We are sure this will not only revolutionise the way Odia being used on computers and Internet but can also make life easier for many who find it hard to type Odia alphabets using the keyboard. Being it is FREE , it surely reach most of the corners of the world easily “ said Prashant K Sahoo ( Chief Executive of AP Arts International LLC, USA and Director of AP Info Arts Pvt. Ltd, Rourkela ).

With this version in addition to typing Odia easily on various Windows based Editor/Application like MS Word, Wordpad, Notepad, Pagemakers etc, one can also send emails in Odia, Chat in Odia etc.

Being developed on unicode standard , the Odia Texts are portable to various OS and applications as long as it supports Unicode. This version supports Windows XP / Vista and Windows 7 and comes along with Aprant Unicode Font Family for your immediate use.

As of today though efforts are on, the Unicode Odia Fonts are not developed properly and standardized. Because of which there are lots of flaws in usage of Maatras and Juktakshyara on Unicode Odia implementations. So it is not possible to write in Odia in different browsers with Unicode font support flawlessly . While Indian languages like Tamil , Hindi , Telugu etc. are marching ahead with its rich features and sofistication of usage on computers and world wide web, Odia language has been far behind.

The current version of Aprant Keyboard Manager is based on ASCII characters with an aim for Unicode support in its next version.

It is user-friendly in many ways particularly in terms of its dual Keyboard typing mode , phonetic and Inscript . While the first one is addressed to laymen and who don’t have much speed on keyboard, the later one is for Professional computer operator/DTP Professionals.

“We are sure this will not only revolutionise the way Odia being used on computers and Internet but can also make life easier for many who find it hard to type Odia alphabets using the keyboard. And its FREE version will surely reach most of the corners of the world easily “ said Prashant K Sahoo ( Chief Executive of AP Arts International LLC, USA and Director of AP Info Arts Pvt. Ltd, Rourkela ).

Being it is a keyboard manager, one can type Odia on any Windows based Editor/Application like MS Word, Wordpad, Notepad, Pagemakers etc. exactly the way one type English flawlessly. Just open your favorite editor and select the font and start typing Odia. Its that easy.

The power of this technology is the way it is compatible and enable for web for both viewing and writing on various browsers. Its dynamic font ( Aprant Dynamic Font ) is supported not only on old version but also many new versions of the browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera on Windows, Linux and Mac Computers.

Aprant Keyboard Manager ( Aprant Odia Sampadaka ) is available both in Free and Commercial license version.
