Using Indian languages on computers are very attractive for a layman. Quillpad & lipikaar is a free online typing tool in Indian languages. It supports transliteration technologies according to pre-defined rules. A transliteration technology that allows users to type words as they would casually do (like 'rashtrbhasha' instead of 'rAShTrbhAShA) such as rigid case-sensitive typing rules. Transliteration tools expect users to type English words phonetically.
