System Requirements: The TrueType® fonts install into Microsoft® Windows 7, Vista, XP, or 2000, and work with all Windows 7-, Vista-, XP-, and 2000-compatible applications that allow the user to select fonts from a font menu. (A previous version is available for Windows NT, Me, 98, or 95; please contact the Sales office.) The product includes a User's Manual and keyboard layout chart(s).

The fonts will print to any printer at the highest quality allowed by your printer.

A custom version (fonts only) is available for Linux, but Linux users must provide alternate keyboard input for characters in the extended character set. If you are ordering for Linux be sure to select the Linux box on the Order Form.

TransIndic Transliterator is available in two versions. The Keyboard version is for OS X 10.2 and above. The InduScript® version is for OS 7.1-9.x or Classic mode of OS X. The InduScript scripting system provides phonetic input for transliterating Indian languages. The InduScript Control included in TransIndic Transliterator also provides the same easy-to-type phonetic keyboard arrangement for Hindi, Sanskrit, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Sinhalese, and Telugu (all sold separately).

System Requirements: The font may be typed using the US keyboard, or with an included keyboard resource that installs into OS X 10.2 and above or System 7.1-9.x. (The alternate keyboard does not support OS X 10.0 or 10.1, which do not allow installation of alternate keyboard resources. Owners of OS X 10.0 or 10.1 must use the US keyboard.)

Here's what others are saying about TransIndic Transliterator Here's what others are saying about TransIndic Transliterator:

"In the 30 years I have been working with Indic languages, this is the most esthetically pleasing and easy-to-use font I have worked with. It has saved me much time and grief in tinkering with different fonts and diacritic systems. The printed copy is pleasing to the eye. Given my satisfaction with your product, I am pleased to acknowledge this font in every document prepared with it."
Dr. Sanford B. Steever, New Canaan, CT

"I am a very happy user of your software and recommend it regularly to other Sanskritists. And your tech support person is not only knowledgeable and articulate, but patient and willing to go the extra mile to sit down with me over the phone and make absolutely sure the product is working for me. I have never, I mean never, encountered a more professional and friendly technical support contact than him. He does his job both with care and with flair."
Brad Priddy, M.D., Physician and Sanskritist, Atlanta, GA

"All your products are really beautiful in addition to being functional. My heartiest congratulations! I am absolutely amazed by your talent and genius. My very best regards and gratitude,"
Michael F. Pajak, Mount Laurel, NJ

"Your fonts are so wonderful. Thank you."
Julia Jean, South Hadley, MA

"The Sanskrit and transliteration fonts from Linguist Software have been constructed with incredible intelligence. The number of consonant combinations leaves nothing to be desired - everything you want is there. The fonts are crisp and clear. Using the software is easy, and quickly becomes intuitive, and the handy keyboard chart is easy to refer to. Within a short time, I was able to type Devanagari almost as quickly as typing English. Amazing! And the company provides excellent and friendly tech support, too. Many thanks to Linguist Software. I am glad to refer teachers and students."
Mindy Rosenblatt, creator of a website for learning Sanskrit, Santa Barbara, California

"I first bought Macintosh fonts from Linguist's Software at least 15 years ago, and I was immediately impressed with their quality and used them for years with no problems whatsoever. When I switched to the Windows platform a few years ago, I tried several different sorts of fonts, but none of them were comparable in quality and ease of use to your products. My purchase a few days ago only served to confirm once again that fonts from Linguist's Software are in a class by themselves. (May I also compliment you on the excellent user's manuals that you produce; I'm glad that your company is willing to buck the minimalist trend in the industry and continue produce well-written, well-produced, very comprehensive [PDF] manuals.) A satisfied customer..."
Jack Hagge, Iowa State University, Program in Linguistics

"I've been using this product for the past 2 months and I wanted to let you know that it is very good. Thanks!"
Raj Mohanka, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts

"Wonderful fonts! Best wishes, and thanks for your great work and your great fonts."
Mindy Rosenblatt, Santa Barbara, CA

"Excellent product! Thanks again for your great product and service, prompt replies and courteous help."
David Charles, Austin, TX
