SAT Transliteration - A new mode of transliteration (termed SAT) was introduced in Azhagi in Aug 2009 (incl. an introductory internal transliteration dictionary# with around 100 words). SAT mode had the potential to do the following and a few more:
type 'Aditya' to get 'ஆதித்யா' !; no need to type 'aadhithyaa' !
type 'vanakkam' to get 'வணக்கம்'; no need to type 'vaNakkam' using 'shift+n' !
type 'doctor' to get 'டாக்டர்' (or even மருத்துவர் !, whichever the user finds right for his needs)
But, with the advent of similar user-friendly (and seemingly 'transliteration dictionary' based) IMEs from Microsoft and Google soon after, I did not venture to enhance the dictionary# further or to extend SAT to external applications.
