Barnamala is simple!

If you type the letters K A M A L, Barnamala will display the following —

As easy as that.

You type in English as you would pronounce the Bengali words. Barnamala displays the corresponding Bengali text.

Here is a screenshot (in a new browser window/tab), which shows the interface of Barnamala and gives you a feel for how it works.

As you type the English letters, Barnamala outputs the corresponding Bangla letters in real-time! No separate conversion operation is required. Barnamala’s unique auto-convert feature will have you believe you are typing in Bangla!

Barnmala is versatile . . .

With a registered version of Barnamala, you can compose Bengali text (as you would do in your favorite word processing application) and then, print it, or copy the Bangla text to:

• your favorite word processor (such as MS Word and others)
• a graphics program (such as Adobe Photoshop and others)
• email, web authoring tools — just as you would with any other document based on TrueType fonts.
