Do more than is required. What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following? The extra mile.

Q.Since when you are using Modular's software?

I am using Modular's software for more than 20 years.

Q. Can you highlight any feature of software, which you liked most and why?

The most important feature is excellently designed Devanagari fonts that makes it readable. In Mandarin/Chinese language, calligraphy forms the basis of the script, similarly, the fonts developed by you are useful for various purposes such as normal writing to advertising. I found the fonts eye-pleasing and eye-catching because of its neatness.

Q. Feedback about the support received from the Company

I have been working for Sakal Papers for more than 30 years in New Delhi and have the benefit of using the Shree-Lipi. In February, 2013 when I visited you for setting up Shree-Lipi on my another laptop, I had pleasant experience in your department. Moreover, the fare package was reasonable and affordable.  

Q. What is importance of Good Looking fonts in Media(Newspaper)?

Font is most important for media. It has to be legible as the main target is the reader. Newspapers have chosen different type of fonts and Lipi designs. So style differs and that makes difference for the reader. He may choose a particular newspaper just because its font is good and reading is made easy by placement of news in style.

Q. Modular Infotech is also working for visually challenged people (blind) and making user-friendly technology for blinds. You have seen demo of Shree-Lipi Braille Software and Braille-Mitra. How will you describe about this activity of the company?

I had pleasant experience when I visited your company. Mr. Pradeep Satpute of the marketing department took me to another section where the company has developed software for the blinds (differently able). I was given a copy of the book to read. As I was reading, the staff officer who was blind, kept reading on his Braille book with chaste Marathi and without missing even a single word or syntax. I think that Modular InfoTech Private Limited has developed a great tool which will be a boon for the blinds. It will not only educate them but make them self-sufficient.

Tips and Tricks for Shree-Lipi

Tip 1 : If arrow keys are not working in MS Excel while Shree-Lipi is active, what should be changed?

If ‘Scroll lock’ is the activation key and is currently ON, then arrow keys will not work in Ms Excel. The solution to this problem is changing the activation key. You can select either ‘Num Lock’ or ‘Caps Lock’ as the activation key.

Tip 2 : In Bengali Script we are not getting ‘ / ’ , ‘ ; ’, ‘ ? ’, ‘ = ’. These characters are not coming in recent version, but were coming properly in previous versions.

In the Bengali fonts of versions of Shree-Lipi 4.0 & above we have not provided the ‘ / ’ , ‘ ; ’, ‘ ? ’, ‘ = ’ characters. This was done to accommodate some new conjuncts in fonts. It is not possible to accommodate all the characters in the 8 bit font for Bengali. We have accommodated the left out characters in an Auxiliary Font. To install these fonts, enable "Auxiliary Fonts" option in Modular Font Manager while installing the fonts. These fonts have the names like SHREE-BAN7-xxxxA. While using the characters, put activation key (scroll lock) OFF and then type the characters as per the help given with Shree-Lipi.

Application tips and tricks

Understanding System Restore

Using System Restore in previous versions of Windows has been something of a gamble. There's no way of telling which applications or drivers it might affect - you just have to try it and see.

Windows 7 is different. Right-click Computer, select Properties > System Protection > System Restore > Next, and choose the restore point you'd like to use. Click the new button to 'Scan for affected programs' and Windows will tell you which (if any) programs and drivers will be deleted or recovered by selecting this restore point.

Restoring a Missing Menu Bar

If the Windows Explorer does not show a menu bar, it may be due to an entry in the Registry that needs to be deleted.

  1. Start Regedit
  2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\Explorer
  3. If there is the following key - ITBarLayout - Delete it

Special Visit

On 14th May 2013 team of Modular InfoTech Pvt. Ltd. visited IUCAA, Pune to demonstrate Braille-Mitra (a reader device for visually challenged persons) to Prof. Jayant Narlikar.

There is no need to give introduction to Prof. Narlikar but for those who are not aware of his work, we are mentioning few lines about him.
Prof. Jayant Narlikar is an eminent scientist who has received several national and international awards and honorary doctorates, such as Padma Vibhushan, Maharashtra Bhushan Award, Prix Jules Janssen of the French Astronomical Society etc. In 1988, the Indian University Grants Commission set up the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) in Pune, and Prof. Narlikar became the Founder-Director of IUCAA.
Prof. Jayant Narlikar is continuing his work in alternative cosmology, the so-called quasi-steady state cosmology, and is currently working on tests that distinguish it from the standard big bang cosmology. One such test involves searching for very old stars. Another of his interests is to look for microorganisms in samples of air collected by balloons from heights of up to 41km, as such organisms are likely of extraterrestrial origin.

The Braille-Mitra was demonstrated to Prof. Narlikar and was appreciated by him.
