TibetD is the first stand-alone program written for Windows that supports Tibetan script. TibetD is a multi-faceted program. It was originally built as a dictionary program for Tibetan / English dictionaries but has been developed into a very powerful program that can be used for working with Tibetan and other language scripts in a number of ways.
Designed by a translator/scholar for use by other scholars and translators both Tibetan and non-Tibetan, it contains several desirable features not seen in one software package up to now.
A key feature of TibetD and the word-processor derived from it, TibetDoc, is that it can save files in a special format suitable for archiving and widespread distribution. Works created in either program can be distributed without the worry that end-users will accidentally corrupt the files, something that is crucial for the preservation of Tibetan Buddhist texts.
To go with this feature a Reader-Only edition of TibetD has been made making TibetD an Adobe Acrobat for Tibetan.
Main features:
-TibetD is capable of dealing with Tibetan text, English, or other languages alone or in combination and includes full support for Sanskrit transliterated into Roman languages.
-All text can be cut and copied to other programs via the clipboard. All text can be transferred to other programs such as Word, Pagemaker, etcetera by saving in RTF file format. Text can also be saved in Corel WordPerfect for DOS and Windows formats. Text retrieved into WordPerfect and Word formats can be manipulated using our Tibetan word-processors.
-Any WordPerfect 6 for DOS file can be directly imported, including files made with the Tibetan! version 4 (and Diacritics!) programs. All text can be exported directly back into WordPerfect for DOS and used in that environment with the Tibetan! (and Diacritics!) programs.
-All of the keyboard technology that has been developed by the Tibetan Computer Company over the past twelve years has been built into the program, giving significant ease of use when typing Tibetan and Sanskrit in transliteration. All of our products have the same keyboard layout so if you learn to type in any one them, you will have learned to type in all of the others too. The keyboard layout is easily user-customizable.
-The program uses our world-famous Tibetan typefaces. Text on-screen and printed is the highest quality available.
