Tamil Keyboard was formally supplied as an Add-on product is now discontinued. It was provided as a quicker
mode to type in Tamil for TAM/ TAB variants of fonts. However, Unicode has now become the standard and hence TAM / TAB/ TSCII
and other 8 bit font standards are phased out. At Kamban, we always keep pace with the technology and provided the first
Unicode font Maduram and Unicode Editor with Akshar font for all South Indian Languages including Hindi and Sinhalese.
Now we have compiled 10 different variant fonts for Tamil in Unicode format.
To use these fonts in your favourite application using the keyboard layout which you are more comfortable with, we have
included 4 different Keyboard Layouts. Usage of Keyboard is detailed in the section
Tamil Keyboard. Now there is no excuse for you to ignore your mother tongue!

Since introduction of Windows XP, Microsoft always supported Unicode. However many Indian
Language programs have not caught up with this due to disparity in standards and keyboard layout. In order for
users to quickly adopt to Standards, Kamban had always responded with the products that supported these principles.
With the introduction of this product and the Maduram Font that is supplied with it, we urge users to transition
and adopt to Unicode format. This will be the standard of the future.
