Avro Keyboard Standard Edition 5.1.0 with Bangla Spell Checker

    অভ্র কী-বোর্ড সারা পৃথিবীতে কম্পিউটারে বাংলা লেখার জন্য সর্বশ্রেষ্ঠ সফ্‌টঅয়্যার। আর সবচেয়ে বড় কথা হ’ল, এটা ফ্রি; এটি ব্যবহারের জন্য কোন পয়সা খরচ নেই।
    আমার এই ব্লগে “অভ্র কী-বোর্ড” তুলে ধরার একটাই উদ্দেশ্য, পৃথিবীর ২৬ কোটি বাঙালী ইন্টারনেটে অথবা ডেস্কটপে যেন বাংলা টাইপের অভ্যেস গড়ে তোলে এবং নিজেদের মধ্যে ভাব বিনিময়ে পৃথিবীর মধুরতম ভাষা বাংলা ব্যবহার করে।
    বহু বাঙালীকে দেখি facebook বা অন্যত্র রোমান হরফে বাংলা লিখতে। এত বাজে লাগে যে কী বলব। আমার এখান থেকে যদি এক জনও অভ্র ব্যবহার শুরু করে তাহলে আমার পরিশ্রম সার্থক মনে করব।
    “অভ্র”’র বিশেষত্ব হ’ল – phonetic type support. অর্থাৎ যেমন ইংরেজী টাইপ করি, ঠিক সেই রকম। ঊদাহরণঃ   Press on the key-board,  “ami banglay gan gai”; it will automatically be typed,  আমি বাংলায় গান গাই।  Just use F12 key for toggling between Bangla & English.
    So, জয়তু বাংলা ভাষা!  জয়তু অভ্র!
