Quillpad Mobile brings intutive Indian Language SMS Service to your mobile phone
Quillpad Mobile is the extension of the well known Indian language transliteration product Quillpad, into the mobile platform. Quillpad Mobile allows intuitive typing in Indian languages using the standard mobile keypad (English). By intuitive we mean, the user need not remember typing rules and can type the way he thinks or talks. For instance, to type a sentence like “दीपावली की शुभकामनाएँ”, the user can type any phonetically correct variant – “deepavali ki shubhkamnayen”, “dipavali ki shubhkamnaen”, “deepavalee kee shubhkaamnayen” etc. There are no rigid rules like ‘A’ represents ‘आ’, ‘a’ represents ‘अ’, ‘T’ represents ‘ट’, ‘t’ represents ‘त’ etc.
Quillpad Mobile will be made available in all major Indian languages – Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali and Punjabi. Quillpad is starting by rolling out the product in Hindi, because Hindi users form our largest user base. In addition, recipients of the messages sent using Quillpad Mobile will need support for Indian language fonts on their phones in order to read the messages. While most handsets come with Hindi fonts, it’s unfortunate that support for other Indian language fonts is yet to come on a large scale. However, user need not have support for Indian language fonts on his phone. Quillpad Mobile uses its patent pending rendering technology to support Indian language fonts on handsets that do not come with Indian language fonts bundled.
Quillpad Mobile covers a wide variety of phones. It works on any phone that comes with Java.
