New Delhi, 4 May, 2012 – Users of Ubislate tablets

offer an end user experience in all major local languages of India and
the world.
Announcing the alliance Suneet Singh Tuli, CEO of Datawind said,
“We are very happy to have formed this strategic partnership with
Reverie for supply of language solutions. We feel strongly that
technology should reach every corner of the world and knowledge of
English should not be a barrier. This language solution will benefit the
users by offering a new world of services and products to a segment of
world population that has been ignored for so long.”
Reverie Language Technologies CEO Arvind Pani said,
“We are very excited to be part of Datawind family and getting a chance
of making digital information available to the masses in their
preferred language. We strongly believe that our alliance will go a long
way in bridging the digital divide in the under-privileged communities
across the world.”
An operating system level of integration will ensure that the
complete user experience will be in the language of choice of the
customer. UbiSlate tablets will have text- rendering technology capable
of displaying all languages including complex scripts and keypads for
all supported languages including transliteration technology.
Datawind will provide UbiSlate range of tablets and its services in
all major local regional Indian and world languages. The language aware
tablets will allow the information to be consumed and created in the
preferred language of the user, freeing them from using English alone.
