Vidisha student develops Hindi browser
By Our Staff Correspondent
BHOPAL, DEC. 15. Jagdeep Dangi, a computer engineering
graduate from Samrat Ashok Technological Institute
(SATI) in Vidisha, claims that he has come up with the
world's first Hindi browser with Internet Explorer. After
obtaining his degree, Mr. Dangi did not go job­hunting.
Instead, he spent more than three years developing the
Hindi software. He completed his school level education in
the Hindi medium and found it very difficult to keep pace
with the computer engineering syllabus as the medium of
instruction was English at the college level. This
eventually propelled him into developing the Hindi
software.
The Hindi software package has a set of four different
softwares. These include the Explorer/Web browser,
English to Hindi or vice­versa digital dictionary, the global
word translator and saral Editor. The web browser (Hindi
Explorer) is packed with all the functions of Internet
Explorer. In addition, it also has extra functions such as
opening multiple files, saving files, searching files and has
slides, auto history viewers, pop­up blockers, and built­in
digital dictionary. The global word translator that comes
with his software is an important translator since it can
work within any application of Windows (online or offline).
The browser can run on all Windows operating systems
right from 95, 98, 2000 to ME, NT and Windows XP.
The other important application software developed by
Mr. Dangi is English to Hindi or vice­versa digital
dictionary, which currently supports 20,320 words and
allows users to add more words to suit their
requirements. This dictionary enables users to search for
synonyms either in English or Hindi within seconds.
Mr. Dangi claims that he was already working on his Hindi
software when the Microsoft Chief, Bill Gates, had said
during his India visit a few years ago that this country has
enormous potential in the IT field. Two young lawyers,
Rahul Mathur & Sidhanshu Prakash, are helping him on
the copyright front.
Mr. Dangi wants to develop this software in other regional
languages and he is also planning to make a separate
operating system in Hindi and other regional languages.
