ONLINE GEEZEDIT FOR TYPING IN AMHARIC<br />

Today, ABSHA/ECS of Colorado announced the release of GeezEdit Typ<strong>in</strong>g Onl<strong>in</strong>e, a FREE<br />

ETHIOPIC application to type the Amharic alphabet available at http://free<strong>typ<strong>in</strong>g</strong>.<strong>geezedit</strong>.com<br />

GeezEdit Typ<strong>in</strong>g Onl<strong>in</strong>e is an <strong>in</strong>credibly simple application to use due to <strong>in</strong>novative two key<br />

stroke technology. Patent pend<strong>in</strong>g technology allows you to use a maximum of two keystrokes<br />

to type any letter <strong>in</strong> the Ethiopic alphabet. Other Ethiopic applications make you use up to six<br />

keystrokes to type s<strong>in</strong>gle Ethiopic characters and some can’t be repeated without <strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g<br />

space. GeezEdit Typ<strong>in</strong>g Onl<strong>in</strong>e allows you to save time and type any Ethiopic character,<br />

numeral, symbol or tonal mark with two keystrokes at most. This free application allows you to<br />

edit, save, and pr<strong>in</strong>t anyth<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Amharic, the national language of Ethiopia.<br />

ABSHA is a company that was established <strong>in</strong> 1982 by Dr. Aberra Molla and his wife, Senait<br />

Ketema. ABSHA/ECS of Colorado pioneered the computerization of Ethiopic. ModEth, an<br />

Ethiopic word processor <strong>for</strong> DOS, was released <strong>in</strong> 1987. Prior to Ethiopic computerization by<br />

Dr. Aberra the alphabet was typeset only <strong>in</strong> the pr<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g presses or written manually. The focus<br />

of the current render<strong>in</strong>g technology known as ABSHA system is the <strong>typ<strong>in</strong>g</strong> of each of the more<br />

than 563 Ethiopic glyphs with one or two keystrokes, somewhat similar to <strong>typ<strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>in</strong> English on<br />

computers. Enjoy the simplicity of the new technology while spar<strong>in</strong>g your time and money.<br />

Ethiopic is an ancient phonetic alphabet that has been <strong>in</strong> use <strong>in</strong> Ethiopia <strong>for</strong> millennia and is<br />

currently utilized by numerous languages such as Agew, Amharic, Bench, Bilen, Geez, Guragie,<br />

Meen, Oromiffa, Tigre and Tigrigna. The alphabet has cont<strong>in</strong>ued to grow because of the<br />

<strong>in</strong>clusion of new characters to accommodate more languages.<br />
