New software launched to take IT to Indian masses
Poor skills in English will no longer be a handicap to gain IT proficiency for about 900 million Indian masses, thanks to a novel software, developed by an Indian institution and an Israeli company.
Lekhika 2007, a software application, developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) under India’s IT ministry and Israel’s FTK Technologies, covers ten scripts and 3,000 characters and supports Windows, MAC and Linux.
The application is expected to enable masses in India, who do not know English, to gain computer skills in their own language thanks to its user-friendly, comprehensive, cost-efficient format.
