Hp Announced Pen Keyboard for Indian Lang.

HP Labs India Wednesday introduced its pen-based keyboard for Indian languages, including Devanagari (Hindi), Kannada and Tamil.

Priced at Rs 2,000, the gesture-based keyboard helps solve the phonetic language entry problem by allowing users to input text and data with a pen.

The innovative technology also allows any Indian script to be recorded and stored directly on the computer.

"The hi-tech keyboard makes it easier for even non-English speaking people and those who can't type to communicate with others effortlessly. It is meant to bridge the digital divide by simplifying the use of IT," HP Labs India director Ajay Gupta said at a preview of the product here.

Designed and developed at HP Labs India, the keyboard is currently available in Hindi and Kannada scripts along with English fonts.
