Indic transliteration tools (Hindi/ Devanagari) for Mac?

Hello
I was wondering if anybody knows of any non-web-based Indic transliteration tool or software for use with Mac OS X (ideally Unicode so as to be usable with Pages and other apps). There are loads of applications and IMEs for Windows (Baraha, Microsoft IME for Office, Itranslator etc), but none that I could discover for use in a Mac environment. More specifically, I would like to be able to use a Roman keyboard and use a sensible transliteration software to create Devanagari (Hindi) output.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much for your reply, Tom, and for the link that you have posted. You are right in pointing out that I can enable the Devanagari keyboard and then type. However, the Devanagari keyboard is quite complex and counter-intuitive so I was searching for a transliteration tool or software (such as www.baraha.com, Windows).
I am comfortable using LaTeX, and I can use Velthuis’s devnag transliteration scheme which renders beautiful output (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/devanagari/velthuis/). I use the tool macdevnag to convert .dn files to .tex and then compile them with TexShop (http://pagesperso-orange.fr/bdesgraupes/sanskrit.html). But LaTeX is not as user friendly for small tasks as compact transliteration tools working with normal apps like Word in the Windows world.
So I am simply looking for an IME or transliteration tool that will allow the direct use of the Roman keyboard to write Hindi and Sanskrit. I do think that Apple has very poor support for Indic languages (just two average fonts etc) and there are virtually no apps for Hindi users (except quite expensive average quality commercial products). Thanks again.

  • Protools Suggested Tweaks For Mac Performance

    Anyone got any experience of the pro tools suggested tweaks for mac performance e.g turning off Dashboard and Spotlight in terminal and so on. They are found on the DUC forum. I use mainly Logic 8, but occasionally Protools LE. I am trying to squeeze as much juice out of my early MBP as possible so have used them. Any thoughts. Any known issues for Logic.
    See my other post re eSATA etc, also any advantages putting apple loops and extra audio content on external eSATA with BFD etc?
    Thanks,

    Turn OFF Airport, if you have wireless internet.
    Run Logic by itself e.g. don't run email, safari, videogames, unix console, Word, etc... at the same time. This goes for ANY DAW platform.
    Printing effects when you have commited to them, ie if you have a CPU hungry plugin, print it as soon as you're done editing the MIDI / or audio performance. then remove the plugin.
    Cheers

    I addition to running less concurrent processes or installing more RAM as Kappy mentioned.
    I also see that you have less than 10% of free space left on your HDD.

    Which is fairly low and forcing it to work on the slowest part of the HDDs platter.

  • PSE 6 for Mac: Only have one shape in the Cookie Cutter tool

    I just installed PSE 6 for Mac and am getting familiar with it. When I tried to use the Cookie Cutter tool, I have no choices (no black arrow next to the star in the toolbar) and it always is a 'heart' (cute, but was hoping for more choices). Any suggestions on why this is, and how to repair? Thanks in advance for any help...

    Actually, I found the answer...disregard my question. Newbie error. Thanks for understanding!

  • Version control tool for Mac OS X?

    Hi all
    If using labview on Mac OS X, 
    do you have some version control tools to recommend?
    Thanks  a lot

    As far as i know, LV for Mac does not integrate with source code control provider. LV for Windows has two requirements for this:
    a) Professional Development Environment
    b) A source code control provider compatible to the Microsoft Source Interface
    There is still always (Mac, Linux and Windows alike) the possibility to control source files using the SCC providers client software.
    Many open source project SCCs like CVS or Git integrate, at least in Windows, in the File Explorer.
    I recommend you to research possible solutions like this for Mac.
    The next question is if you want to use a distributed SCC or a local one. Depending on this, you will have to setup a network server with compatible provider (e.g. RhodeCode).
    LV provides both a Diff and Merge tool as EXE (Professional). I am not sure if this is also true for the Mac version, so look for "LVCompare" and "LVMerge".
    hope this helps,

  • Hello. I have two version of Office for Mac. 2008 and 2001. I want to delete the 2008 version. If I use the removal tool within the Offie 2008 folder, is there any danger of the 2001 version being removed too.  Thanks Dave UK

    Do you mean Office 2008 and 2011 or do you really want Office 2001? I think you mean 2011 since Office 2001 wouldn't make much sense.
    The Office uninstaller should be able to identify there are two versions and allow you to delete either one or both.
