"Nearly 20 to 25 schools in rural areas and village communities are expected to benefit from a group of newly developed software localized in Nepali language.

To this effect the Nepal Telecom Authority (NTA) has signed an MoU with Madan Puruskar Pustakalaya to take the software packages developed by the latter to the villages.

"Madan Puruskar Pustakalaya has devloped these softwares keeping in mind the need of school children and other people living in rural areas of the country," Bal Krishna Bal, the project manager at the Madan Puruskar Pustakalaya, which has compiled over 30,000 words so far, said. 

In order to make the Nepali spellchecker more relevant, unlimited NuMedia, a software developed in Nepal, has recently completed the work of "linguistic evaluation of Nepali spellchecker" with the help of Microsoft proofing tool team in Ireland.

The spellchecker was first developed by Unlimited NuMedia (released in November 2005 along with Nepali version of Microsoft Windows XP and MS office 2003). It can be developed either through creating dictionary or by particular set of words. The completion of linguistic evaluation was done in 4 parts: collation of balanced corpus, annotating the corpus using the provided tagging tool, creating custom lists and the completed evaluation report."
