In case you do not receive our aforesaid mail even after 24 hours, please check for our mail in the 'bulk/spam' mails folder of your account (if you are using external email clients like yahoo!, google etc.) as sometimes even genuine mails are automatically sent to this folder by these clients (You may avoid typing any extra words in the 'message area' of your mail like 'registration', 'activation' etc., when you send your mail to us).

What one can do with the Free Basic Version?

The FREE Basic version of Azhagi provides both a first-of-its-kind Dual Screen Transliteration interface and a regular Single Screen Transliteration interface. (TamilTypewriter and Tamilnet99 keyboard layouts are also available in Single Screen interface).
The 'Dual Screen' transliteration (DST) interface will kick-start you into the world of Tamil Computing. With DST, what you type in English is always visible. So, you will easily master what to type in English to get your desired text in Tamil. Thus, DST will lay the perfect platform for you to quickly learn and grasp the extreme user'friendliness, speed, ease and flexibility of Azhagi's peerless transliteration scheme. DST has lots of unique advantages. Click here to see them.
Once you are at ease with DST, the 'Single Screen' interface will help you move into the next stage of Tamil Transliteration seamlessly, wherein you will type in English in a regular full single screen and what you will get is only the corresponding Tamil. The English text you type wont be visible.
Though DST also allows input for as many pages as you like and is the favorite of many of our users and has lots of unique advantages, DST might become a bit slow while editing large amounts of text. So, if you are planning to type hundreds of pages, we suggest you use the 'single screen' interface.
The free version also hosts an in-built Unicode Editor which allows you to seamlessly type in Unicode in 'Single Screen' intrface. You can save/email/print this Unicode text. You can copy/paste this Unicode text in any application which supports Unicode. You can ofcourse use it in blogs.
