Punjabi University introduces 'PURAN' system for improved Gurmukhi script typing online

A revolutionary system has been developed at the Department of Computer Science in Punjabi University to enhance the typing experience in the Gurmukhi script on the internet, as repotred by Khalsa Vox.

The innovative system, named "PURAN", is designed to provide users with appropriate sentence suggestions as they type, catering to various topics and expressions.

Gurjot Singh Mahi lead the innovation under the expert guidance of Dr. Amandeep Verma, according to Khalsa Vox, adding that this research marks a significant leap forward in linguistic technology.

The system not only suggests sentences but also ensures their relevance to the user's intended topic. Amandeep Verma emphasised the novelty of this achievement, and further noted that while similar systems exist for the English language, there has been a notable gap in research about local dialects.

With a focus on the Gurmukhi script, this project fills that void, and promises a more inclusive and accessible digital landscape for Punjabi speakers, Khalsa Vox reported.
