Hello visitor

Due my personal circumstances and familiy issues, I can now barely manage any time to spend on the software I have been working on. The present situation is likely to continue until mid of 2008. This does not however mean that I am stopping working on these. I have updated the Banlga spell checker so that it won't expire. The Bangla OCR software needs greater involvement and is not likely to have any updates until mid 2008. Please do not email me asking about any date. If you are a good C++  programmer and has passion for Bangla, and would like to involve into my works, you are welcome to contact me.

I am sorry for any inconvenience that might cause to you.

Thanks for your visit.

 
A new release of the Bangla spell checker software is now available. The new release 1.02 has a plugin that hooks with MS Word and can can perform spell check on any documents open in Word. This feature depends on the OLE Automation feature of Word and Windows so is not avalable on Linux or Mac version of the spell checker.

This new release does not have any updates on the dictionary as yet. The new version can simply be overwriten on the old one, or can be freshly installed after the old version is uninstalled. 

We are happy to announce the release of Linux version of our Bangla Spell Checker. Like the Windows version it is fully Unicode compatible and works on utf-8 and utf-16 (both big and little endian) texts. It can open large text file, or get text from clipboard and then check spelling of the Bangla texts. Since, the spell-checker is written for Unicode encoded Bangla texts, it would require Unicode supports from your operating system. This includes text input system as well as proper Bangla font. Some directions are available on the Internet. 

Download the spell checker software for free.

Please note, the Linux version of the Spellchecker is fully featured with no limit of lifetime unlike the Windows version. However, to get support you may need to buy a license. Details would be published in due time.

Apona Banan has been written using cross platform GUI library,  so it can run on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX and many other operating system. Currently only Windows version is available; other versions would be make available depending on user demands.

Since, our Bangla Spellcheker is written for Unicode encoded Bangla texts, it would require Windows 2000/XP/Visa or other Unicode suppored operating system. You also need to setup your system to properly view the Bangla texts. Some directions are available on the Internet. To input Bangla texts you would need a text input software like Avro.

Please note, the trial version of the Spellchecker is fully featured but has a lifetime of 60 days. After 60 days it will stop working. To buy or get a better version  please come back to this site.

There has been long waiting for a Bangla OCR (optical character recognition) software. Personally I have been involved in Bangla OCR research in my spare time for a few years. At last I have the feeling of having something done.

This version of Bangla OCR is merely an alpha. It has a very high recognition speed, but the accuracy is not something to boast. It surely has bugs and weakness, and I am working on these.
