ETA (English text area)

ETA (English text area)

If you are using Azhagi for the first time, as soon the application starts, the cursor will be placed in ETA (English text area. i.e. the top text area) only. You can start typing immediately to effect Transparent (Dual Screen) Transliteration (TT). Note that 'caps lock' should be off.

Use F10 (or Alt-c) to toggle between Tamil(Tam) and English(Eng) font. By this way, you can generate mixed text (i.e. both English and Tamil) , as you keep typing.

You cannot type in TTA (Tamil text area. i.e. the bottom text area) in between. All the typing/editing etc. has to be done in ETA only.

To set the interface to 2-screen mode at any time, click on 'Preferences -> Screen Appearance -> ETA and TTA alone will be visible'. [ Alternately, you can also right click on Azhagi's operating icon (in the right bottom of your screen), move to 'Transliteration mode' and choose 'Transparent']

Note :

You can cut and paste English text from some other source too on to the ETA and have it got transliterated in the TTA in no time.
As you keep typing in the ETA, you can pause/resume the Tamil transliteration in the TTA by alternately unchecking and checking the check box captioned 'T T'.
You can do formatting in ETA and the corresponding formatting will be automatically carried out in TTA.
