The global technology solutions provider, HP, today announced the introduction of a pen based technology which enables non-English speaking people to use computers effectively.

The gesture based keyboard technology, according to Mr Dick Lampman, senior vice-president, research and director HP Labs, can open up the power of computing to a large number of new users, all in their own language and without prior knowledge of English or typing.

Overall, he said, the GKB could benefit more than 1.5 billion non English speaking people including Indian, Nepalese, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi and other phonetic script users. Priced at Rs 2,000 per unit, the GKB, he said, was a low cost and rugged solution. — SNS
