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 6^th 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.
