The Department of CSE has produced a couple of reliable and usable Malayalam Language Tools. The tools were developed by the students as their mini projects in partial fulfillment of requirements for their 6th semester. 1. The first product is Sree. It is a Malayalam Keyboard Manager suitable for MS WORD. 2. The next product Thriveni, supports bilingual fonts. It incorporates Malayalam, Hindi and English Keyboards in a dynamically switchable manner. The product supports MS OFFICE, STAR OFFICE and OPEN OFFICE. It provides a keyboard layout with the help of which even a unskilled person may edit Malayalam text just using mouse. 3. We have already made a prototype of optical character recognizer for Malayalam language. It recognizes Malayalam characters in printed or handwritten form and converts them into a wordprocessor-document. It uses feature point extraction technique. 4. We are currently planning to develop a Malayalam dictionary that can be integrated into a word processor such as MS Word. The dictionary would help the typist by suggesting alternate words and auto-complete, while typing. These project works have been carried out by S6 CSE(2005-2009 batch) students under the guidance of Mr Francis Xavier, Computer Programmer.
