Software for using Assamese in Unicode compatible format 

Tezpur(Assam): Two 
scientists from Assam have developed a software 'Luitpad' for using the 
Assamese language in an Unicode compatible format.










    
The software, developed by Navanath Saharia and Kishori Mohan Konwar, 
has been purely designed for writing only Assamese text and facilitates 
writing Assamese text based on the phonetics of a word instead of 
phonetics of individual characters.
     


The software is entirely Unicode compatible and there is the provision 
to add new words to its integrated dictionary, Saharia, who is research 
scholar working on computational linguistics in the context of Assamese 
language told reporters here today. 


Luitpad automatically predict words after typing the first couple 
letters and this prevents spelling mistakes, said Konwar, a computer 
scientist specialising in supercomputing and machine learning.
     


Luitpad is compatible with both Microsoft Window and Linux operating 
systems and addresses all the existing difficulties faced by anyone 
writing Assamese text on a computer, the duo said.

Unicode is the universal character encoding standard for processing, 
storage and interchange of text data in any language in all modern 
software and information technology protocols.
