With the recent advent of Messenger apps, it has become easier to communicate with people in fraction of second using low cost data plans. They are much cheaper as compared to traditional SMS. Some of the examples of messenger which took internet messaging to great extent are WhatsApp, We Chat, Hike, Viber, Plustxt. On good side they support additional features such as file transfer, location sharing, and voice/video messaging, still certain flaws exist in these messengers. One of the biggest disadvantages of these messengers is that they don't allow typing in Hindi/Marathi (Devanagari script), so only youngsters in India can use these apps as they can transliterate in Hindi- English but older generation people and rural people find it hard to use most messenger apps because of this shortcoming. With our project, we aim to solve this problem, and propose to develop an app with Hindi/Marathi script touch keypad where typing will be in Hindi/Marathi script itself. Also security being most important in online communication, we propose to use MULET for secure data communication with the app.

Abstract


With the recent advent of Messenger apps, it has become easier to communicate with people in fraction of second using low cost data plans. They are much cheaper as compared to traditional SMS. Some of the examples of messenger which took internet messaging to great extent are WhatsApp, We Chat, Hike, Viber, Plustxt. On good side they support additional features such as file transfer, location sharing, and voice/video messaging, still certain flaws exist in these messengers. One of the biggest disadvantages of these messengers is that they don't allow typing in Hindi/Marathi (Devanagari script), so only youngsters in India can use these apps as they can transliterate in Hindi- English but older generation people and rural people find it hard to use most messenger apps because of this shortcoming. With our project, we aim to solve this problem, and propose to develop an app with Hindi/Marathi script touch keypad where typing will be in Hindi/Marathi script itself. Also security being most important in online communication, we propose to use MULET for secure data communication with the app.
