Hi, This mail is small survey/poll (maybe I should put it on website as poll), to get user preferences with regard to typing in indian languages using a keyboard. What would you prefer (a) A keyboard with <insert ur language> printed on it (lets say with both <ur language> & roman alphabet printed), as per inscript layout (or similar one not needing a keyb driver). Here simple keymaps are used. (b) Keyboard like the ones available in market today (only roman) + if u need to type <ur language>, you stick keyboard stickers as per layout needed. Layout could be straight one like inscript or one requiring a keyboard driver/Input method. (c) Roman keyboard, using a phonetic or transliteration schemes for typing. You basically type in english to type in ur language. Note: Its assumed that language support is already there using a character based model . So output from keymap/keyb driver has to be character codes. Also 'Keyboard' means the physical keyboard (XT/AT model with 84/101/104 keys). Give your choice (any one option) & reason for it. Any other comments pl. take it on a seperate thread (maintain KB-IM in subject line) Regards, Karunakar |
