Google and Microsoft are the two major Internet Giant, always trying to beat each other. Theirs a lot of competition in between them. Say, Microsoft owns a major portion of Operating System market and Windows 7 has just brought the boost. Google last year also launched it Chrome OS – a Linux kernel, trying to gain some share in OS Market.

Google vs Microsoft

Now if you remember Microsoft had launched its Indic Tool couple of months before, now its turn for Google to bring the same but in its flavor.

I have tried and used both of them, but before giving my Opinion lets see what they both offers.

Microsoft Indic Language Input Tool

Microsoft Indic Language Input Tool helps you enter Indian language text easily into any application in Microsoft Windows or on any page on the Web. The primary input mechanism is transliteration. Additionally, it provides a visual keyboard to assist with editing words that do not transliterate properly.

Its really simple to use just install it and start typing in Hindi over any platform whether its your messenger, Outlook, Notepad…its supports and is compatible with everything.

It provides support to a lot of Indian languages like Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and lot more.

Google Input Method: Type anywhere in your language

Google Transliteration IME is an input method editor which allows users to enter text in one of the supported languages using a roman keyboard. Users can type a word the way it sounds using Latin characters and Google Transliteration IME will convert the word to its native script. Note that this is not the same as translation — it is the sound of the words that is converted from one alphabet to the other, not their meaning. Converted content will always be in Unicode.

Google Transliteration IME is currently available for 14 different languages – Arabic, Bengali, Farsi (Persian), Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu
