TEL AVIV: 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, which has been formally launched here.

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.
