Panini is a multilingual keypad software for mobile phones that supports 11 languages of India. Users can conveniently type in Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, and more using the Panini Keypad System.
One of the most impressive features of Panini is its statistical predictive texting (CleverTexting) technology, which has revolutionized ergonomic typing on mobile devices for Hindi. This new mobile texting technology, named in honor of Sanskrit Grammarian Panini who lived 2500 years ago, was developed by Luna Ergonomics, an Indian startup based in Noida.
With Panini, you can compose a text message in any regional language of India and send it cost-effectively as an SMS to any other phone. The system also offers SMS compression, which enables you to send up to 240 characters of Indian language text in a single message for the same cost as a standard SMS. This feature opens up new possibilities for cost-effective Mobile marketing and meaningful information applications for rural India over the ubiquitous SMS.
Mobile phone penetration in India is already high, with over 336 million active mobile phone users and growing at a rate of over 10 million new users per month. Panini also offers automatic transliteration between the different languages of India, allowing you to write a message in one language and send it in another or receive a message in one language and read it in another, which is especially helpful in a country with many languages.
Indian language scripts often use many characters that are not equally frequently used and the Abiguda scripts are full of ligatures which follow complex rules of usages. Panini Keypad has its own mailbox, which is superior to the mailbox of the phone, making it more user-friendly and convenient to use. Panini is changing the way Indians use their mobile phones to communicate and making it easier to stay connected in the language of their choice.
