Also, you can type by changing keyboard layout to malayalam in MS word or other text editor. For this, you need to install language pack and add malayalam as input language in XP. If you are using windows 7, just add malayalam input from control panel>regional and language >keyboards & languages. If you know braille, there is a program called Leos to write malayalam, english and hindi using braille keys in Linux. There are 3 methods to write malayalam. Choose one which is easy for you.

Then open Start menu > all programs > baraha x > baraha direct. Note: 'x' here stands for the version here. Now you should be able to see Baraha direct Icon in your System tray (usually Bottom right corner of your video display unit / monitor) Jaws users can use 'Ins+f11' for bringing up the system tray Icon list. Click the right mouse button on Baraha direct Icon, A context menu will be popped, then navigate to 'Malayalam' 'Malayalam' is a sub menu, in Malayalam sub menu, choose the Item 'Unicode' and hit enter. Note: at any time, if you want to switch back to English, press 'f11' and press the same key to switch to Malayalam. Now press 'f11' to switch back to English, open word, set the font to either 'Kartika' or to 'arial Unicode Ms' and again press 'f11' and start Typing in. The typed text will be displayed in Malayalam. The keyboard layout is phonetic, thats to say, lik typing in English. Eg: if you Type malayALaM it will be displaied as Malayalam in Malayalam Alphabets. Hope this clears your doubt. The same method can be adapted for any Indic languages, in menus, you need to select appropriate language. Need to select the appropriate font in Ms word. On 7/13/12, Mahesh S.
