Question

Point out the software which is used for Malayalam DTP work:

• A. MS word
• B. MS Access
• C. iLeap
• D. MS Excel

Answer 1

Answer:

C. iLeap

iLeap

Developed by C-DAC, iLeap is an independent, Indian-language word processor designed specifically for Desktop Publishing (DTP) and typing in Indian languages, including Malayalam. It allows users to easily compose text using distinct Malayalam keyboard layouts (like InScript or typewriter layouts) and fonts.

The other options are standard components of the Microsoft Office suite. While you can type in Malayalam in some of them today if the proper language packs and fonts are installed on your operating system, they are not dedicated Indian-language DTP software packages:

• MS Word: A general-purpose English/multilingual word processor, not a specialized Indian language DTP tool.

• MS Access: A relational database management system (RDBMS) used for tracking and storing data tables.

• MS Excel: A spreadsheet application used for data analysis, calculations, and charting.
