Yahoo and Bing Amharic Search at the Free GeezEdit Online Page

Today, ABSHA/ECS of Colorado announced the release of Yahoo and Bing Search in Amharic at the free GeezEdit Online Typing page, http://freetyping.geezedit.com

 

GeezEdit Typing Online is an incredibly simple application to use due to innovative two-key stroke technology. New patent pending technology, by the same inventor who computerized Ethiopic allows the user to utilize a maximum of two keystrokes to type any letter in the Ethiopic alphabet. GeezEdit Typing Online allows the user to save time and type any Ethiopic character, numeral, symbol or tonal mark with two keystrokes at most. This free application is to edit, save, and print anything in Amharic, the national language of Ethiopia. http://www.free-press-release.com/news-online-geezedit-for-typing-in-amharic-1266892997.html In the past it was advised to type the Amharic words and paste them in Yahoo or Bing to search in Amharic. The current announcement is about the addition of Yahoo and Bing search in Amharic to the free typing GeezEdit page.

 

ABSHA is a company that was established in 1982 by Dr. Aberra Molla and his wife, Senait Ketema. ABSHA/ECS of Colorado pioneered the computerization of Ethiopic. ModEth, an Ethiopic word processor for DOS, was released in 1987. Prior to Ethiopic computerization by Dr. Aberra the alphabet was typeset only in the printing presses or written manually. The focus of the current rendering technology known as ABSHA system has been the typing of each of the more than 563 Ethiopic Unicode glyphs with one or two keystrokes, somewhat similar to typing in English on computers. Without this invention Amharic users would be wasting their time typing some glyphs with three to six keystrokes each. Typing some of the Ethiopic characters required seeing up to four characters to spell and type some characters while such spelling is alien to Amharic. Some of their Amharic characters were impossible to repeat without adding a space between the characters, use the mouse, left arrow key or backspace to get back behind the second character to remove the space and then avoid the character by using the mouse or the right arrow to skip the repeated character. This got interesting as the character sets increased beyond Amharic.

 

This current news release is about the addition of Yahoo and Bing search engines for use in Amharic at the free online GeezEdit page. To search in Amharic one clicks on “Search” in the menu and for the first time type in the Amharic alphabet in the Yahoo or Bing search box. Clicking on “Search” brings up Amharic documents recognized by Yahoo or Bing and the documents appear in the Amharic alphabet. If the user is interested in Yahoo or Bing English “Search”, then “Alphabet” menu is clicked and “Latin” is selected. Typing in the Yahoo or Bing box gives “English” words and the “Search” is in English.

 

On June 22, 2010, ABSHA/ECS of Colorado announced the release of Google Search in Amharic at the free GeezEdit Online Typing page. http://www.free-press-release.com/news-google-search-in-amharic-with-the-free-online-geezedit-1277218948.html The release today is about the addition of Yahoo and Bing to the menu so that the user won’t rely only on Google alone. The user now has the option of selecting Google, Yahoo or Bing search engine by selecting one of the three at a time through the drop-down menu. (Do not forget to delete the cache if you see Google only.)

 

One of the advantages of the Net is because billions of documents and the like can be accessed by searching for them. The number of Ethiopic documents has continued to grow too. For instance, in 2010, the free GeezEdit page was accessed more than 100,000 times.
