TransIndic Transliterator in Unicode provides professional-quality,
Unicode-encoded fonts in TrueType® OpenType® format for typing
transliterated Indic (Indian) text, plus Western European Latin-based

italic and bold-italic (except Chancery is

TransIndic Transliterator
in Unicode fonts include
OpenType™ layout features. A new font technology called
OpenType extends the ability of fonts to support international character
sets by allowing greater typographic control over letters and their
associated accents. OpenType allows composite forms of accented letters
to be input, built up, and properly positioned as the letter and its
accents are typed by the user. Combined with the Linguist's Software
keyboard software, this provides unparalleled ease of use, intuitive input
methods, and beautiful printed output. The information that follows on
this page will show you the wide range of characters supported by the
font and the simple input method provided by our included keyboard
software. (OpenType fonts require the use of certain
Operating Systems and applications. Be sure you read the System
Requirements for Windows or
Macintosh, further down the page, before you order.)
Modify letters
with up to three accents over and two accents under the letter:
Typing accented letters is easy and intuitive. Just type the letter
and then the accent key. TransIndic Transliterator in Unicode includes a
keyboard layout
chart (for
Windows or
Macintosh) showing how to type every letter and accent.
Other examples:
Look again at the
keyboard layout chart for
Windows or
Macintosh to see how easy it is to type these accented
letters. For example, the third example on the first line above would be typed:
a, semicolon, left bracket or a;[. To add the
vertical line above (the Sanskrit cantillation mark) shown in the first
example on the second line, just type equals (=). The
keystrokes for that character would then be a;[=. All three accents are
typed using the little finger on the right hand. This makes learning how
to build up accent combinations very easy. You soon will be touch-typing!
More examples of commonly used diacritics:
Other special characters needed for
transliteration of Indic
languages are included.

TransIndic Transliterator in
Unicode is available for Windows and
Macintosh.
 TransIndic
Transliterator
in Unicode for Windows
The product includes a keyboard layout that supports
four characters per key (instead of the normal two) in Windows Vista, XP and Windows 2000
SP3.
The keyboard layout takes advantage of the OpenType layout features
built into the fonts for the most logical, intuitive input possible. Input
order is letter, accent, accent, as described above. The letter with its associated
accents
is built up automatically as you type, with all accents perfectly
positioned. Requires Word 2007 or Word 2003.
Windows System Requirements:
| Operating Systems
| Requires Windows Vista, Windows XP or Windows 2000 SP3. |
|
| Applications
|
Requires Microsoft Word 2007 or Word 2003 or another
component of Microsoft Office 2007 or 2003 (except Microsoft PowerPoint
2003, which is not compatible). |
|
Older versions of Word (including Word 2002 and
Word 2000) are not compatible. |
|
QuarkXPress 8 and 7, and InDesign CS4 (and
earlier) are Unicode-compatible, but they do not support the
OpenType features of these fonts, and are therefore not compatible. |
|
Older, non-Unicode applications such as Quark XPress
6.5 and earlier, PageMaker, Corel WordPerfect,
and Lotus Word Pro are not compatible. |
|
Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 (included in
Microsoft Office 2003) is not compatible with TransIndic
Transliterator in
Unicode for Windows. All text is changed to the Arial font, whether
typed with the keyboard, input using Insert Symbol, or pasted from
Word using the Windows clipboard. PowerPoint users should type their
text in Word or another Unicode-compatible application, and save the
text as a graphic for import into PowerPoint. Users can also use
WordArt to create their text. To do this in PowerPoint go to Insert,
Picture, WordArt, and type your text, formatting it as desired.
Alternatively, users can type directly into PowerPoint using our
non-Unicode TransIndic Transliterator fonts. (Earlier
versions of PowerPoint have not been tested for compatibility with
TransIndic Transliterator in Unicode for Windows.) |

are not interchangeable with TransIndic Transliterator in Unicode. Both Unicode and non-Unicode fonts, including
Unicode and non-Unicode versions of TransIndic Transliterator, may be
installed on your system (since they have different file and font names)
and may even be used in the same files. They are not, however,
interchangeable.
