OdiaPad is a lightweight tool/utility which comes in handy to type in odia using normal english soft keyboard.

The main advantage OdiaPad offers is that it doesn't require Internet connection. As you start typing the text is instantly converted into odia in another view below english text.

Other features include:

* Allows saving the text to a file.

* Opening saved OdiaPad text for re-editing.

* Allows sending the text via SMS and Email.

* The text can also be copied which can be later pasted wherever required.(Say for example, you want to add a new contact to phonebook with name in odia.)

* Separate buttons are available at the top for each of these features.

Example:

To get odia in odia script, type: oDiaa

All the mappings from english letters to odia letters can be found by clicking the info button (i) at the bottom right corner of the screen.

The saved documents can be located in your external storage(or in your Internal storage on some devices) at: /Your_SD_Card/OdiaPad folder.

The saved documents can be opened with any text editor of your choice. The same file opens perfectly on your laptop/desktop too. However if you want to update the file, you should open it in OdiaPad.

One more thing to note here is that the folder also contains a "tmp" folder which contains some metadata of the files saved. So please make sure that the files under this folder is not deleted incase you want to edit the saved files later.

Regarding sending email, the first part of the text until an enter key press is treated as the email subject. And the remaining text goes as the email body.

Please Note: The app purely depends on the unicode support of your device. As you start typing in english, if you dont see corresponding odia text being generated, then probably your device doesnt support unicode and sorry that OdiaPad cannot be of any use to you.

The permissions read/write external storage are for opening/saving existing OdiaPad documents. The other permissions are of course added to serve advertisements.
