I was thinking to try to make money by polishing the technique (it is not a reinvention of wheel, but enhancement of wheel and its application) that I developed recently, but I got my Certification in the middle of this project, and could not spend any more additional time on this project. I am giving up further development of this online software. Anyone may try this. At least the idea can reach to wider software engineers who can compete to develop a robust software in this regard. A few years ago, I started the conversion of preeti TTF based Nepali  to Unicode Code based Nepali, and introduced an unique keyboard for Unicode Typing. I certainly spent a lot of time to design the position of keys in keyboard (Thanks to Chhahari.com). As the time passed, I shut down my  webpage, and suddenly I got dozens of emails from those who were enjoying my online software to convert preeti font based Nepali to Unicode Nepali, and I never thought that my software was so useful to fellow nepalis. Wow, I have to keep my website alive. It is available at http://www.GeoABC. com/ . You can convert news paper articles in preeti fonts to Unicode character set and read the article no matter where you live as long as your computer has Unicode capability. So far, I believe that the conversion (Preeti to Unicode) through my software is the best. As I developed the online conversion software, then I came to know more about Devnagari Characters and their combinations. Then, I  realized a new idea of converting the unicode characters into sound.  I spent a month or so learning the WAV format based sound manipulation, and eureka! I wanted to have someone with good voice speak on my software's behalf, but as I got my certification, then my priorities changed. I am more engaged in other professional works, so the project was abandoned. If any of you want to have a look, go ahead and try it. http://www.geoxyz.com/indexUni... On the right side box, copy a unicode Nepali text from any Nepali website, and paste it. Then click on the button. Wait for a short time. Don't paste too large chunk of text because it is in .wav format, so it may take several minutes to download. It might shut down my website because it exceeds the daily quota. It is in very raw form, so it is not woth in present form. It is just an idea what is coming in next year or so. Try about 100 words, not more than that. Try the following text from Today's Kantipur: एमाले महाधिवेशनका मुद्दा प्रदीप ज्ञवाली एमालेको आठौं महाधिवेशन नजिकिँदा नीति र नेतृत्वसम्बन्धी बहस व्यापक हुन थालेको छ । You will hear my voice, scrambled. Have fun. I dedicate this piece of work to the blind people in the world including blind Nepalis who can hope to getter better connection to the real world: Text to Sound. Next idea for you will be for those can see but not hear: lips movement/ synchronize lips. Can you do that? Yes, you can. Scramble the JPG image file, and combine them as a motion picture as people do in ads. If you combine these ideas, then we can have sound based slide show.

i can see great deal of ur effort. you are on the way. hands together for ur hard work. however, you should work little bit more to polish ur work coz the compiled sound, now, doen't make any sense. you should contact some software company and Nepalese language expert for financial and technical help. keep on working..
