Panini Keypad also offers usability to type in Indian languages easily on the web and the PC to fill forms in Indian languages or to chat and other applications. A prototype of Panini Keypad to fill form in Hindi is here.
Similarly it can be built for any language. Bloggers can write in their regional language using our web product. Our product can be integrated into a PC to provide typing capability for any language of the world fast and ergonomically. We are in talks with various PC manufacturers for Panini Keypad's adoption.
Advantage to end users:
It is easy to learn and easy to operate.
Panini Keypad is always about "single keypress typing" – no multitap, mode change or any other kind of disambiguation.
Only through Panini it is possible to support multiple languages on the same keypad.
No dictionary or non dictionary mode. Equal performance across all kinds of words.
Can operate under low light conditions or darkness because no need to look at the keypad. User can operate without glasses.
Extremely lightweight technology
Because there is no dictionary at all and only statistical tables it is extremely lightweight. This compactness allows packing this application into lightweight applications whether on silicon or into SIM or client side on the web. We are undergoing a Proof of Concept to port this application in the SIM cards.
Low licensing costs.
Licensing costs have been kept low and affordable considering the value that is delivered to the user and its desirability.
Adequate Patent protection
Adequate numbers of patents have been filed for this technology. The technology is full of inventive steps and with many critical discriminators from existing/patented technologies. Hence our technology is free from patent contentions.
Extendibility
We are working on other innovations which will make the experience even better in the future using the same technology and the same user interface model.
For Telecom Operators and VAS companies
Usability makes it possible for people to SMS in regional languages particularly when the focus of expansion for all telecom service providers is rural. This opens up new ARPU opportunities for Operators as well as VAS companies. Application can be included Ondeck by Service Providers.
