गूगल IME - हिन्दी में टाइप करने का सरलतम साधन

गूगल IME - हिन्दी में टाइप करने का सरलतम साधन

गूगल ने अपना ट्रांसलिटरेशन आईएमई टूल ज़ारी कर दिया है। गूगल ने यह टूल एक साथ 14 भाषाओं (अरबी, फ़ारसी (पर्सियन), ग्रीक, बंगाली, गुजराती, हिन्दी, कन्नड़, मलयालम, मराठी, नेपाली, पंजाबी, तमिल, तेलगू और ऊर्दू) में टाइप करने के लिए ज़ारी किया है। मैं यह ट्यूटोरियल हिन्दी के IME टूल के लिए तैयार कर रहा हूँ।

क्या खा़स है इस टूल में-

1) इंटरनेट कनैक्शन की कोई आवश्यकता नहीं- आप एक बार इंस्टॉल कर लें, फिर आपके पास इंटरनेट कनैक्शन हो या न हो, कोई फ़र्क़ नहीं पड़ता।
2) आसान कीबोर्ड- गूगल के इस टूल से लोगों की यह भी शिकायत रहती थीं कि वे हिन्दी के चालू शब्द तो टाइप कर लेते थे, लेकिन कई संस्कृतनिष्ठ शब्द नहीं टाइप हो पाते थे। जैसे बहुत कोशिशों के बाद भी 'हृदय' लिखना मुश्किल होता था, 'ह्रदय' से ही काम चलाना पड़ता था। जो लोग इस टूल का इस्तेमाल करते हैं, उन्हें इस टूल की सीमाओं का पता है। अब नये IME में गूगल ने एक कीबोर्ड दिया है, जिसकी मदद से आप दुर्लभ और जटिल शब्द भी टाइप कर सकते हैं।
3) शब्दों की पूर्ति- इसमें शब्दकोश आधारित शब्द पूर्ति पद्धति सक्रिय है। इसकी मदद से टाइप करने वाले को यह आसानी होती है कि जैसे ही वह किसी शब्द के 2-3 अक्षर टाइप करता है, गूगल का यह सिस्टम इससे बन सकने वाले शब्दों का सुझाव देने लगता है। जैसे- 'हिन्दी' लिखना है, hi टाइप करते ही 'हिन्दी' का विकल्प प्रदर्शित हो जाता है।
4) खोज का विकल्प- इस टूल के साथ हर शब्द, शब्द-युग्म और सम्भावित शब्द के नीचे एक तीरनुमा आकृति बनी है, जिसपर क्लिक करने से Search (खोज) का विकल्प आता है, उसपर क्लिक करते ही गूगल उस शब्द से संबंधित खोज परिणाम प्रदर्शित करने लगता है। टाइपिंग पट्टी के ऊपरी दायें कोने में भी गूगल का ऑइकॉन है, जिसपर क्लिक करके गूगल-सर्च किया जा सकता है। इस विकल्प के जुड़े रहने से देवनागरी-सर्च को भी बढ़ावा मिलेगा।
5) वैयक्तिक चयन- गूगल का यह टूल आप द्वारा किये गये संशोधनों को भी अपने ध्यान में रखता है और अगली बार आपके रोमन अक्षरयुग्मों से उन्हीं शब्दों का सुझाव देता है जो आप द्वारा वांछित है। जैसे आप 'kam' से 'काम' की जगह 'कम' लिखना चाहते हैं तो अगली बार से यह आपकी पसंद का ख्याल रखता है।
6) सुखद अनुकूलन- गूगल इस टूल में फॉन्ट चयन, साइच चयन का विकल्प भी प्रदान करता है, जिससे आप अपनी पसंद के स्टाइल में टाइपिंग कर सकें।

अब इतना जान लेने के बाद आप यह ज़रूर जानना चाहेंगे कि इसे आप अपने सिस्टम में संस्थापित (इंस्टॉल) कैसे करें।

1) अधिकारिक पृष्ठ इसका सेट-अप डाउनलोड करें
2) एक ही क्लाइंट मशीन पर एक से अधिक भाषाओं का IME सेट-अप चलाया जा सकता है।
3) यह टूल Windows 7/Vista/XP 32-bit ऑपरेटिंग सिस्टम के साथ काम करता है।
4) जब इंस्टॉलर डाउनलोड हो जाये तो उसे चलायें। यह कुछ डाउनलोड करने की शुरूआत करेगा।
5) नियम व शर्तों को स्वीकार करें-
6) गूगल इनपुट सेट-अप इंस्टॉल हो रहा है-
7) फिनिश बटन पर क्लिक करके इंस्टॉलेशन विज़ार्ड से बाहर आयें-


विन्यास (कन्फिगरेशन)

आप यदि इस टूल को चलाना चाहते हैं तो पहले तो आपके सिस्टम में यूनिकोड का सपोर्ट इंस्टॉल होना चाहिए। इसके लिए आप Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages tab -> Install files for complex scripts and right to left languages और Install files for East Asian languages दोनों को चेक्ड करके इंस्टॉलर सीडी द्वारा इंस्टॉल करें। इसके बाद आपके टूलबार में भाषा का विकल्प दिखने लगेगा। भाषा के इस विकल्प को लैंग्वेज बार भी कहते हैं।

यदि लैंग्वेज-बार न दिखे तो।
डेस्कटॉप पर राइट क्लिक करें (दायाँ क्लिक करें) और टूलबार में जायें और  लैंग्वेज़ बार इनेबल करें।



यदि फिर भी लैंग्वेज बार नहीं दिखता तो निम्नलिखित तरीके से लैंग्वेज बार दिखायें-

Windows 7/Vista

1. Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Keyboard and Languages tab
2. Text services and input languages dialog खोलने के लिए Change keyboards पर क्लिक करें।
3. Language Bar tab पर क्लिक करें
4. लैंग्वेज़ बार वर्ग से Docked in the taskbar रेडियो बटन को इनेबल (सक्रिय) करें।
5. उपर्युक्त सभी सेटिंग को इप्लाई करें और देखने की कोशिश करें कि आपके टूलबार में लैंग्वेज बार देखें।

Windows XP

1. जायें-Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages tab -> Text services and input languages (Details) -> Advanced Tab
2. यह सुनिश्चित कीजिए कि System configuration विकल्प के अंतर्गत Turn off advanced text services चेक्ड नहीं है।
3. जायें- Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages tab -> Text services and input languages (Details) -> Settings Tab
4. Language Bar पर क्लिक करें
5. Show the Language bar on the desktop चुनें और OK पर क्लिक करें।

IME का Shortcut कैसे सक्रिय करें-

हालाँकि आप लैंग्वेज बार से अंग्रेजी और हिन्दी को बारी-बारी से चुनकर दोनों भाषाओं के बीच टॉगल कर सकते हैं, लेकिन यदि आप अपने कीबर्ड से कोई शार्टकर्ट का इस्तेमाल करके किसी भी अनुप्रयोग में इसे चलाना चाहते हैं तो निम्नलिखित तरीके से कर सकते हैं-

Windows 7/Vista

1. Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Keyboard and Languages tab


2. Text services and input languages dialog खोलने के लिए Change keyboards... बटन पर क्लिक करें।


3. Advanced Key Settings tab खोजें और इसपर क्लिक करें।


4. यदि Google Input उस लिस्ट में नहीं है तो Add पर क्लिक करें। Add Input language dialog box में भाषा विकल्प में हिन्दी और कीबोर्ड में Google Input चुनें।


5. Hot keys for input languages वर्ग में - Google Input पर जायें।


6. Change Key Sequence दबायें


7. Enable Key Sequence चुनें


8. Left ALT + SHIFT + Key 1 जैसा कोई विकल्प चुनें।


9. ऊपर्युक्त सभी सेटिंग को एप्लाई करें।


10. अब नोटपैड, वर्डपैड जैसे किसी अनुप्रयोग को खोलकर यह चेक करें कि शॉर्टकर्ट काम कर रहा है या नहीं। Left ALT + SHIFT + Key 1 दबायें और देखें कि हिन्दी में लिख पा रहे हैं या नहीं।

Windows XP

1. Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages tab -> Text services and input languages (Details) -> Settings Tab
2. यदि या Google Installed Services बॉक्स में भाषा के रूप में नहीं जुड़ा है, तो Add पर क्लिक करके Add Input language dialog box खोलें Input language में जोड़े और Keyboard layout/IME में Google Input चुनें। OK पर क्लिक करें।
3. Key Settings पर क्लिक करें।
4. Hot keys for input languages में Switch to -Google Input चुनें
5. Change Key Sequence पर क्लिक करें
6. Enable Key Sequence चुनें
7. Left ALT + SHIFT + Key 1 जैसा कोई विकल्प चुनें।
8. ऊपर्युक्त सभी सेटिंग को एप्लाई करें।
9. अब नोटपैड, वर्डपैड जैसे किसी अनुप्रयोग को खोलकर यह चेक करें कि शॉर्टकर्ट काम कर रहा है या नहीं। Left ALT + SHIFT + Key 1 दबायें और देखें कि हिन्दी में लिख पा रहे हैं या नहीं।

दो भाषाओं को आपस में बदलना-

आप इस टूल की मदद से पहले की तरह अंग्रेज़ी और हिन्दी भाषा दोनों के शब्द अपने एक ही कीबोर्ड से लिख सकते हैं। जब आईएमई सक्रिय हो, आप F12 या Ctrl+G की मदद से रोमन और देवनागरी को आपस में बदल सकते हैं।



आप चाहें तो आपके कम्प्यूटर स्क्रीन पर बने ऑइकॉन की मदद से 'अ' पर क्लिक करके 'A' और 'A' पर क्लिक करके 'अ' कर सकते हैं। 'अ' इस बात का सूचक है कि टाइपिंग-आउटपुट देवनागरी में होगा और 'A' इस बात का सूचक है कि टाइपिंग-आउटपुट रोमन में होगा।

कीबोर्ड-

गूगल ने इस बार एक इनस्क्रिप्ट कीबोर्ड का विकल्प भी दिया है, जिसमें हिन्दी के सभी स्वर, व्यंजन, विराम चिह्न इत्यादि एक क्रम में सजे हुए हैं। इस कीबोर्ड की मदद से आप बहुत से जटिल और दुर्लभ शब्द या अपनी मर्ज़ी के सार्थक-निरर्थक शब्द अपने आलेख में जोड़ सकते हैं। जैसे यदि आप कीबोर्ड की मदद से 'यक्ष' लिखना चाहें तो कीबोर्ड से 'य' और 'क्ष' का बटन दबायें आपका काम हो जायेगा।

यह कीबोर्ड स्टेटस विंडों (कम्प्यूटर स्क्रीन पर दिखने वाला IME का ऑइकॉन) पर बने कीबोर्ड के ऑइकॉन पर क्लिक करके खोला जा सकता है या कीबोर्ड शॉर्टकर्ट Ctrl+K द्वारा खोला जा सकता है। माउस द्वारा वांछित अक्षर का चुनाव कर सकते हैं। माउस से स्टेटस विंडो पर बने कीबोर्ड के ऑइकॉन पर दुबारा क्लिक करके, या Ctrl+K दबाकर या Esc का बटन दबाकर इसे बंद किया जा सकता है।

Separating regulatory services functions of Department of Post

Communications and IT Minister Kapil Sibal has called for restructuring of 150-year-old Department of Post by separating its regulatory and services functions to meet challenges of technological age.

 

"The postal department should also restructure itself to meet challenges of 21st century. The Department of Post (DoP) should look into prospect of bifurcating the ministry from the regulator and the operator, just as was done in the telecom sector," Sibal told PTI.

 

He said that the DoP should explore possibility of having different entities namely policy making, regulator and service provider. "No decision has been taken yet. It is all a matter of debate and dialogue at the moment," Sibal said.

 

DoP, which has around 5 lakh employees, is responsible for policy making, regulation and providing postal services, at present.

 

The over 100-year old Indian Post Office Act bars any individual or entity from delivering letters for commercial purpose. The business of private courier companies is built around delivering documents, parcels and others items which do not fall under the category of 'letter'.

Sources in the ministry said that Sibal held a meeting with DoP officials early this week on the issue of finanlisation of the National Postal Policy 2012 and asked them to prepare roadmap for restructuring as well.

They said that next meeting on the issue is expected to take place in 15 days. They said that the minister, in June, had asked DoP to set up a body to oversee the unbundling of its functions.

 

An independent body named Postal Development Board (PDB) will be responsible for the overall development and governance of the postal sector, they added. The PDB will also draw a road-map for unbundling of postal department functions.

The minister had also instructed DoP to constitute a Postal Advisory Board (PAB), in line with Telecom Commission, which should have representation from government, industry players, academics and other stakeholders, they said. The role of PAB will be to provide inputs to PDB on policy matters.

The government in 1997 created the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) to regulate the sector. Under New Telecom Policy 1999, government further restructured DoT by separating service providing function from it.
