NHM Writer is a never-seen-before tool for tamil typing.

Features of NHM writer:

1. Free-of-cost
2. Downloadable. An online version of NHM writer will be launched soon.
3. This makes your Windows system Tamil ready on installing this. So you will be able to read, write Tamil well in all Windows applications. This is cool, as every other software would require you to do some additional tweaks in the system.
4. Extendable. You can use NHM Writer to include new encodings, keyboards for any language of your wish. You just need to insert an xml file. To make this xml file, there is a developer kit for NHM writer which will be released soon.
5. Customisable. You can edit the existing keymap files to make changes according to your needs.
6. Visual keyboards. You have visual keyboards to guide you learn the layout for novice users.

And all this comes in a less than 1 MB software which is really nice.

நிச்சயமாக இது அற்புதமான கண்டுபிடிப்புதான். குறள் போன்ற மற்ற மென்பொருட்கள் ரூபாய் 2000 வரை ஆகின்றன.

Sir,

NHM writer is very userfriendly. However, while editing i find it difficult to find and replace a word, in a word file, since it displays only english commands. Even if I type in romanized method it is not able to analyze. May be I do not know the correct method. can you pl help me.

I am unable to type the Tamil letter “Poo” as in flower using Bamini to Unicode. Why is it?

Punithan, If I understand you correct, you tried to convert the word Poo written in bamini font to Unicode font using NHM Converter (not writer) ? Please clarify this.

Yes, Ravi.

Jayagowri:

If you encounter this problem, try it in this order
1. bring toggle status of NHM Writer to “off” before opening “find and replace”
2. open find and replace
3. now bring toggle status to your favourite keymap.

Punithan :

You can get “பூ” in bamini keymap by typing “g+”.
Also you can utilise “Key Preview” functionality in NHM Writer to understand the mapping properly.
