Abstract
Simputer is a low-cost multilingual, mass access handheld device that uses Indian language user interfaces to provide information technology based services to the multilingual population of India. We discuss the language technology components of Simputer that help realize this experience. The architecture and detailed working of multilingual text rendering and display as well as multilingual text-to-speech systems, in particular the IML browser and Dhvani ITS engine, deployed in the Simputer are outlined.
