of transliteration.

Includes TrueType® and Type-1 fonts, with polished 10, 12,
14, 18, 24 point size bitmaps, available in six typestyles (Times-, Helvetica-,
condensed Helvetica-, Palatino-, Garamond-, and Chancery-styles) all in plain, bold, italic
and bold-italic (except Chancery is plain only),
containing all the characters and diacritics necessary to transliterate Indian
languages. 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.) The alternate input method uses the InduScript® scripting system,
which installs into Classic Mode of OS X and into System 7.1-9.x. (InduScript has been tested in OS X 10.3 Classic Mode.) The product includes a User's Manual, keyboard
resource, and keyboard layout charts.

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
