Lekhar Project
(Taken from the "read.me" file of the tool package)

Modus operandi (How to use)

Letters typed are set to either their phonetic equivalents (more or less) in English alphabet or similar appearing like usage of 'q' and 'z'; like 'a' types a virama or halanta, 'A' types 'big a', 'n' types 'na', 'q' types 'ta' ("t" as english "toy"), 'z' types 'da' ("d" as in english "dog") and 't' types 'ta' ('t" as in spanish "tomino").

Experiment with all the keys and explore (I am too sleepy at 3:00 in the morning to make a manual of those nifty things that you will hardly read I know.. so better is you explore. It's damn easy anyway!)

About

Yes. It's a FREEWARE so use it any way you want (even commercially.. no registration required)!

No. The source code is not provided. Though I might provide it in the future.
(If you are desperate for source try decompiling the classes.. :D MANY FREE tools are available on internet that you can use for it)

Tips

Some characters can be written using the SHIFT or ALT key combinations with the main character keys. (like try Alt+s combination.. Note: No other alt+character combinations exist; only this one.)

** Note that Java is REQUIRED on your system to run this. Also there should be some Devanagari Unicode fonts available on your system. Don't worry; they generally are present.

The button ">>" below the writing area in lekhar copies all the text to the clipboard. I am not sure whether the clipboard thing works in *nix too but it's java so it SHOULD work!

How to run

FIRST:
Unzip the file lekhar_package.zip to any directory. You will get a directory called "lekhar_package". In this are all the required files.

NEXT:
1. For Linux run the "lekhar.jar" file.
[tip: if the jar file does not run on double click or opens something else, try this from the terminal:

java -jar lekhar.jar

Before this change your current directory to that of lekhar_package directory or add it to your PATH environment]

1. For Windows run the "lekhar.exe" (recommended) or "lekhar.jar" file. Either will work but if compatible java not found only "lekhar.exe" will show a CLEAN error message.
