Mobile Based Glossaries

Applied AI group, C-DAC is also working on the mobile based glossaries on WAP as well as standalone applications. Some prototype applications have been developed. The facilities like bidirectional search Hindi-English, pronunciation of the words/phrases and Hindi typing are implemented. Using these glossaries user can fetch the meaning of the respective language on mobile screen and can hear the pronunciation of word at the same time.

In WAP based application user sends request the meaning of word (i.e. in Hindi or in English) to server through this installed client application. The Server computes the request and sends back the meaning along with the pronunciation to client in the same GUI.
