Bijoy Bayanno came as a reprieve for Bangla speakers and writers as it allows them to type out Bangla characters on their keyboards. Bangla writing, native to Bangladesh, can be difficult to directly type out. Many native speakers go online in search of how to type in Bengali. This app meets an apparent need to communicate using the cursive script that forms the basis of the Bengali and Bangla written language. This is achieved by converting the QWERTY keyboard into a Bengali symbol-based alphabet. The font is tailored for compatibility with Unicode. The Bangla writing script does not come standard on most systems, hence the need for utility software to incorporate the language. The tool allows for a seamless transition between English and Bengali and has grown to become one of the most renowned for its role.

Created by Mustaffa Jabar in 2009, Bijoy Bayanno is quite similar to other lingual typing tools. For convenience, the user is able to use the software tool offline. You may also switch between compatibility for ANSI and Non-Unicode. You may also make use of the typing sheets available online to facilitate auto-completion and phrase shortcuts. Further convenience is seen in how the software can be used offline. This is quite convenient as it allows the utility to be functional in the absence of internet connectivity. Many other language utilities would require an online connection to obtain language libraries.

Getting started does not call for much. The software has a mild and convenient learning curve, which allows users to get started easily. It can be downloaded for free as a zip file, which the user can extract to obtain the executable (.exe) file. On running the program, an installation screen prompts the user to select the intended operating system for compatibility. Users may be prompted to install .NET Framework prior to installation to ensure functionality. The file should come with an activation key in the form of a text document. This software can be utilized effectively across numerous recent Windows platforms.

This utility tool is easy to set up and use. However, this simplicity comes with a cost of versatility. The software tool is quite capable but lacking in numerous advanced features. On the plus side, this simplicity ensures a manageable learning curve. The tool supports Non-Unicode and Unicode, increasing its viability. The software is not open source, which limits its ability to be used with coding.

User reviews speak highly of this tool. It meets the need to write in Bengali, a language rarely incorporated into computer systems. Users are able to find supportive material online, in the form of tutorials, to give insight into how to use the tool. This system utility promises to grow into a formidable tool with a little innovative advancement. It is the ideal tool for those looking to type I Bengali direct from their Keyboards.
