IMLI:THE IML BROWSER
IMLI is an abbreviation for IML interface. The purpose of IMLI is to provide a simple and consistent interface for displaying information and developing applications that are simple, user friendly.
The novelty of the information markup language (IML) browser is:
Uniformity across diverse applications
Ease of use
Support for multilingual text and speech output
Support for smart card usage.
TEXT-TO –SPEECH SOFTWARE
DHAVANI gives resources needed to set up text-to-speech synthesis
in Indian languages.
Using images in conjunction with voice output in local languages makes the Simputer accessible to a larger fraction of the Indian population.
Currently, Dhvani has a Phonetics-to- Speech engine which is capable of
generating intelligible speech from a suitable phonetic description
in any Indian Language.
IML is an XML (Extensible Markup Language) application so it follows the
Internet standards .
The goal of IML is to enable handheld computers, that have limitations in the display size
and input capabilities, to access and render content from the Internet.
Use of simple icons to be selected by pointing with a stylus and text-to-speech
output in the local language are the two primary means of communication.
The user is not expected to be familiar with the currently widespread user interface paradigm -windows, slide bars and pull-down menus.
IML
IML ENCODINGAll application data is transferred between IML applications in a simple self-extracting format called IML encoding.
The following example illustrates this coding scheme :
