It is a sad fact that Malayalam still does not have a standard or perfect keyboard, which is compatible in all machines or works in all environments. Majority of the publishing houses and DTP centers use ISM 4(cracked) to input Malayalam. The said technology has far outlived its original life span. It is because, ISM is based on ASCII (8bit) font and is no longer supported by Windows. It is better for everyone to move out of ISM and adopt new technologies to input malayalam.Ī document created in ISM cannot be emailed unless the recipient too have ISM installed in their computer. The next popular method is Google IME / Transliteration. The said technology is based on phonetics or ManEnglish. It is most popular among youngsters and bloggers. In fact, Google IME is the true reason for the rampant increase in malayalam blogging in the Internet. However, the said technology has its own limitations. Google IME cannot be used for professional malayalam typing. It is more for fun, than for serious substance.
