  • Typing in Indian languages in MS-Word (and MS-Powerpoint) in Windows XP even without enabling Unicode fully (i.e. even without enabling the option "Install files for complex script ..." in the control panel applet 'Regional and Language Options'). As of now, this is a unique capability of Azhagi+.

  • In-built Unicode editor for Tamil.

  • A first of its kind Tamil fonts converter tool among freeware. It not only does 'plain' text conversion but does conversion directly inside 'formatted' MS Office documents also.

  • Using a never-before-seen feature, the 'Tamil fonts converter' can be easily extended by the user himself/herself, to effect conversion from ANY Tamil font encoding (not included in the 'Converter' as of now), to ANY other Tamil font encoding.

  • 'See-As-You-Type' dynamic help (on-screen preview) for all key mappings. As such, for all LFKs. The 'dynamic help' tool itself has it's own set of friendly and useful features.

  • Two useful and powerful features:

      Change existing key mappings.

      Create your own keyboard layouts.

    Yes, the facility to quickly modify existing key mappings for any language in any way. 'Modify' means all four of 'add', 'change', 'delete' and 'customize'.

    And, the facility to easily create your own keyboard layout - that is, an entirely new keyboard layout consisting entirely of your own key mappings (or the key mappings of any language's font you are accustomed to) - and start typing in the same.

  • Via the above two features, Azhagi+ is easily extendable to effect typing in any language+font+keyboard combination. Basically, this is achieved by a very simple process of just editing an XML text file in Notepad.

  • In-built font viewer with some cute little features. It will be of great assistance while creating the aforesaid 30 lines file too.

  • Option to set your own separate hotkey (in any combination of Alt/Ctl/Shift/Win modifiers) for typing in each of the language+font+keyboard (lfk) combinations.

  • Option to set a global hotkey too, common for all language+font+keyboard combinations. And thus, the ease of having both a global hotkey (F10 by default) and also a specific hotkey for typing in each language+font+keyboard combination.

  • Apart from the appplication's tray icon, display of an additional system tray icon whenever an hotkey is pressed - to indicate the language and also to provide some additional information (the language+font+keyboard combination in which you are typing, etc.) on hover.

  • Incorporation to a tee, all the 'TamilNet99' specifications. Details here.

  • Various other options (autostart with Windows, close to system tray, etc.) to customize your experience of operating Azhagi+.

  • In-built help with a corresponding online version.

  • Extensive online help is available via very many other web pages too. Just to name three of them alone here - helptips.php, oper-plus.php (the full 'operating manual' of Azhagi+), the XMLs (all the key mappings neatly presented in individual XML files). Furthermore, you can readily get answers to any of your queries on any aspect of Azhagi+ through Azhagi's Facebook Group which is Azhagi's online support forum.

Features of the in-built Tamil font encodings 'Converter'

  • Its a first of its kind Tamil font encodings 'Converter' tool among freeware (and maybe among payware too). It not only does plain text conversion but does conversion of formatted texts too, 'directly inside MS Office documents' itself.
  • Using a never-before-seen feature, the 'Converter' can be easily extended by the user himself/herself, to effect conversion from ANY Tamil font encoding (not included in the 'Converter' by default), to ANY other Tamil font encoding.
  • Unicode to Non-Unicode (SaiIndira, TSCII, TAB, TAM, Bamini & TamilBible, Vanavil, Shreelipi, STMZH, LT-TM [same as IndoWord], Gee_Tamil, DCI+Tml+Ismail, SunTommy, ELCOT-ANSI, ELCOT-Bilingual, Diamond, Amudham, Ka, Shree, Mylai Plain, TACE, Elango, Periyar, Priya, Chenet Platinum, KrutiTamil, TM-TTValluvar, Roja, MCL Kannamai, Baamini [not the same as Bamini], Needhimathi, Pandian, TBoomiS, APT-Sangam, Dev, TA-Arul, Sashi, Ganesha, Lakshmi, Tamil-Aiswarya, Adhawin, TmlCheran, Avaice Jasmine, KavipPriya, Vikatan, etc.), Non-Unicode to Unicode, Non-Unicode to Non-Unicode - all 3 types of conversions.
  • Font encodings conversion directly inside MS Office Documents, thereby helping you retain all your formatting (Bold/Italic/Underline, color, justifications, tables, etc.) and English texts.
    • Note: Right now, only MS-Word documents are supported. Support for MS-Excel and MS-PowerPoint will be provided later.
  • Option to convert the whole MS Office document (OR) only the selected text in the document.
  • Auto-detection of Tamil font encodings.
  • Auto-conversion of Tamil font encodings.
  • Extremely fast and accurate conversion.
  • Setting of a suitable Tamil font (if available in the system) for both the text to be converted and the converted texts.

  • And more...
  • Note: As of now, the various options/settings provided in the 'Converter' retain their values only for the current session. In other words, whenever you restart Azhagi+, the settings will start with their default values.

Portable software - their GREAT benefits

Free Portable Softwares
  • No installation needed
    A software is "PORTABLE" means you need not install the software in your system (by clicking any setup.exe file) - in order to use it. You can straightaway start using it, even without installing it in your system.

  • Just unzip (extract) and start using
    For example, Portable Azhagi+ means, you can just unzip* the downloaded "AzhagiPlus-Portable.zip" to any directory (say "C:\PortableApplications\AzhagiPlus-Porto") and straightaway start using it by clicking "C:\PortableApplications\AzhagiPlus-Porto\Azhagi-Plus.exe".
    (*) If you are NOT tech-savvy about zip files and the operations of zipping, unzipping (extracting), etc., you can read some tutorials on the same. There are lots of them available on the net. You can read the one which suits you. As for me, I found this tutorial (with screenshots) on unzipping/zipping to be very lucid and easy. If you wish to use a software for trying out unzipping (extracting), perhaps you can opt to try out 7-zip. It is a 100% free software for one's zipping/unzipping needs.

  • Use from pen-drive in office environments
    Since AzhagiPlus is portable, you can carry it in your pen-drive (or similar device) and straightaway start using it in any system. No installation needed to work with it in any system. This is immensely useful in office environments where execution of 'setup.exe' of extraneous applications is not allowed in employees' systems. In such cases, one can plug in one's pen-drive into the system and start using Azhagi+ straightaway (if you already have 'AzhagiPlus-Portable.zip' unzipped to some directory in your pen-drive).

  • Testing out is just a snap
    Portable softwares (for e.g. please see portablefreeware.com) have become immensely popular nowadays since they remove the great hassle of installing an application first in order to work with it and then again go through the process of uninstalling it when you do not require the application. In case of a portable software, installing and uninstalling is just a snap. For e.g. if you wanted to uninstall a portable software called 'xyzxyz', you just need to delete it's directory. That is all to it. For e.g. if you unzipped 'xyzxyz' to "C:\PortableApplications\xyzxyz" earlier, in order to uninstall it, you just have to delete the directory 'xyzxyz' (i.e. 'C:\PortableApplications\xyzxyz') under "C:\PortableApplications\".

  • Same settings - Anywhere Anytime
    With portable softwares, the various settings you effect to customise your use of a particular portable software remain the same in whichever system you use that software. That means, you can straightaway start using your portable software with the same settings, in any system. In non-portable softwares, most often this is not the case or most often it is not as straightforward as in the case of portable softwares.

  • No trace, Increased productivity
    Portable softwares do not leave any trace in your system when uninstalled (unlike in the case of the non-portable softwares, some of which may leave traces of them in the system registry and other folders even after uninstalling - which in due course may lead to your system slowing down or your system storing unaccessed/unused files, unnecessarily). Further, if you carry your portable software always in your pen-drive, then any system is not even aware of your software, unless and until you access your software from the pen-drive plugged into that system. Thus, with portable softwares, Everything becomes plug and play, with increased productivity and ease of use.

NOTE

  • Please do note well that the feature in Azhagi+ which enables one to type in the encoding of any Indian/world language's font has been provided by me with a noble intention to allow users to have as less hassles as possible while typing (transmitting, etc.) texts in various Indian/world language font encodings. It is well assumed that the users who use my software Azhagi+ (AzhagiPlus) to type in the encoding of any particular proprietary font do indeed own (i.e. legally have) that particular font.
