Bangladesh has launched a mobile application through which people can write Bangla letters just touching handsets’ screen.
The country’s leading apps developing company MCC Ltd introduced the app namely “Bangla Likhi” (Write Bangla) in Dhaka yesterday.
It will function using phonetics with a simple and attractive users interface.
The firm released another app “Police Station” where the users can easily have information about police stations across the country just at a press of a handset button.
MCC Ltd is a local company but a global brand having nearly 41 lakh subscribers across the world. The company earlier introduced several apps in Bangladesh.
The company said it will also bring another five new Bangla Likhi apps to the market in this month observed as International Mother Language Day remembering the martyrs of 1952 who died for their mother tongue Bangla.
SM Ashraf Abir, chief executive officer of MCC Ltd, shared it with the Dhaka Tribune.
Another company EATL also made an app “21 Amar” compiling the history of Bangla language movement.
“The six apps are being created using local resources but fully capable of competing in the international market,” SM Ashraf Abir said.
“They are easy to navigate interface with an attractive user-friendly presentation.”
According to the MCC, Bangla Likhi is a “great app” for those who want to write in Bangla in their mobile phones.
“It allows the users to use the app offline and share Bangla status on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites,” said Ashraf Abir.
“The app allows the user to copy Bangla text and paste it for use in other applications as well.”
Earlier, the company brought another app namely “The Constitution of Bangladesh.”
With the help of the app, the whole Constitution of Bangladesh can be found in a mobile handset.
Written in Bangla, the app will answer to any question a citizen may have about the Constitution.
To make the use easier, the Constitution has been organised by chapters.
