Software
The Amharic script is included in Unicode, Nyala font is included on Windows 7 (see Youtube video) and Vista (Amharic Language Interface Pack (LIP)) to display and edit using the Amharic Script. Now people can post in forums and blogs, send e-mail, or publish Web sites in Amharic. There are several free software programs, and also some commercial ones, for writing in Amharic for computers with prior versions of Windows. Some such software packages are: Keyman, GeezEdit, Hewan Amharic Software, AbeshaSoft and PowerGe'ez. In February 2010, Microsoft released its Windows Vista operating system in Amharic, enabling Amharic speakers to use its operating system in their language. Google has added Amharic to its Language Tools which allow typing Amharic Script online without an Amharic Keyboard.
