HP Labs India Wednesday introduced its
pen-based keyboard for Indian languages, including Devanagari
(Hindi), Kannada and Tamil.
Priced at Rs 2,000, the gesture-based keyboard
helps solve the phonetic language entry problem by allowing
users to input text and data with a pen.
The innovative technology also allows any
Indian script to be recorded and stored directly on the
computer.
"The hi-tech keyboard makes it easier
for even non-English speaking people and those who can't
type to communicate with others effortlessly. It is meant
to bridge the digital divide by simplifying the use of IT,"
HP Labs India director Ajay Gupta said at a preview of the
product here.
Designed and developed at HP Labs India,
the keyboard is currently available in Hindi and Kannada
scripts along with English fonts.
