Embedding Indian languages into Cellular Phones

mobile computing A patented solution to enable mobile phones with Indian languages has been developed at the GIST labs. The language engine makes it possible to use Indian languages on mobile phones. It allows the user to send Short Messaging Service (SMS) as well as e-mail. The input mechanism is available both in predictive and non-predictive forms. This mechanism is very efficient and easy to learn. The versatility of the solution lies in the fact that the Indian languages can be input through the limited keys available on the mobile handset. Based on the phonetic structure of Indian languages, the solution assigns various vargas, matras to each key, guiding the user to the next key, thus eliminating the need to memorize the exact location of characters on the key pad. The key layout of characters is maintained for all the Indian languages to allow for a smoother transition from one Indian language to another.
