FTK Tech intros vernacular computing software

NEW DELHI, INDIA: FTK Technologies, a provider in desktop software, recently announced that the company has introduced a vernacular Interface for the government schools in India.

The software, co-developed, Educomp Solutions, is specifically oriented to the needs of Indian Government schools, and allows computing experience in their mother tongues through an interface, using the technology of FTK's flag ship product- LooKeys, said a press release.

"We took into consideration the fact that most government schools aspire to introduce their students to the world of computers, but face obstacles due to language barrier and the familiarity and preference of the students with their mother tongue" said Rafi Palgi, FTK executive manager.

He added that based on the expertise and experience of their partners in Educomp, they created a special interface that will function similarly as our comprehensive software, LooKeys, and that will enable computer-aided teaching and learning in Indian languages.

Feedback received from the schools using the software indicates the direct influence on learning across the board, said the release.

"Even teachers of subjects such as physics and science are excited now to use aids such as power point presentations, which could not used so far, as teachers were restricted to English in almost every aspect when working with computers" added Palgi.
