Portable version of Azhagi+ and its immense advantage (only for those who are interested)

For more details on the portable version of Azhagi+, please watch the video demo below (just 2.5 minutes only). The immense advantage of portable version is that you can carry Azhagi+ with you wherever you go - in your pen drive. And, use it to straightaway start typing in any Windows system - in Tamil, Hindi, Sanskrit, etc. - in any application, even without installing Azhagi+ (since you will be using Azhagi+ from your pen drive itself). Of course, you can use the portable version in your desktop/laptop too. So, portable version is not necessarily to be used in a pendrive alone. The thing is that it does not require any installation in any system. You just extract a zip file and start working. It is very simple, that way.
