Lipikaar is based on Unicode (universal standard for representing text in different scripts) and is not dependent on a particular font. Hence a document created using Lipikaar can be viewed on another machine on which Lipikaar is not installed. [ Back to Questions ] How is Lipikaar different from transliteration? Transliteration is a method in which you spell the pronounciation of the Assamese word in English. The algorithm then converts the word into Assamese script. There are several problems with this approach: Ambiguous Transliteration is suitable for common words that can be spelled easily. However for words that are not part of our everyday conversation, figuring out the correct English spelling may not be as simple. Typing words accurately may require a trial and error approach and thus making it unsuitable for professional use. Lipikaar is based on simple rules which allow you to type words accurately. With Lipikaar, even the most complicated word can be typed effortlessly in seconds.Fluency in English Transliateration requires users to have fluency in English so that they can spell the Assamese word phonetically. Lipikaar only requires you to know the phonetic sounds of the English alphabets so that you can use the regular English keyboard and type in Assamese without using stickers. Lipikaar encourages users to think in Assamese and not English.Silent Characters There are many silent characters in languages like Malayalam, Tamil and other Indic scripts which may have different spellings but they are phonetically quite different. For an intelligent transliteration algorithm, it becomes difficult to interpret these words.Writing Names, Addresses and other non-dictionary words Since transliteration is based on a dictionary approach typing names, addresses and other non-dictionary or hybrid words becomes difficult. Once you know the basic rules of Lipikaar, you can type any word with ease. Hence transliteration is more suitable for users who think in English and is meant for typing common words and few sentences. Lipikaar is a simplified typing method for both monolingual and bilingual users. The tool is designed for professional use. Our vision is to encourage extensive usage of Indian languages beyond a casual remark or a phrase. [ Back to Questions ] I see all the matraas broken. does not appear properly. How can I fix that?
