Many of you are aware of Pramukh Type Pad for easily typing into 9 Indian scripts. I have also created many IndicIME plugin for TinyMCE 2.x, 3.x, FCKEditor and PramukhLib JavaScript library to easily integrate it with existing Website and enable Indian script typing for its visitor. This requires the Website to install this plugin/library onto their server. It gives benefit to the Website owner that visitor can easily type in chosen Indian script but if the visitor is avid Indian script writer, s/he has to type in Indian script somewhere else and copy/paste the writing if Website s/he visits does not contain above mentioned script. To alleviate this problem, I have created Add-On for avid Firefox user. It supports Firefox 1.5 – 3.x. You can download this add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10827. Currently this add-on is under review mode so it requires user to login and then download. Click the link below if you want to download from this blog.
Installation Instruction:
If you download from Mozilla add-on website, after login, click on “Add to Firefox” button and Firefox will automatically ask you to install it. Click on Install button and restart Firefox.
If you download from my blog, it is a zip file. Unzip the file on your computer. The extracted file is “pramukhtypepad_ff_25.xpi”. From Firefox, go to File Menu > Open File…. Now locate the extracted file and press “Open”. It will ask you to install it. Click on Install button and restart Firefox.
After restarting, it will add Script Menu at the top. You can choose the script you want to type in. This add-on has all the functionality that Pramukh Type Pad has. Pressing F12 will toggle the selected Indian script with English. Also at the bottom right status bar, you will your selected script. This add-on remembers the selected script and when you open up the browser next time, it will automatically select the last selected script for you.
Enjoy typing in your favorite Indian language.
i like it
add on is not signed & verified by FF, so it does not allow to install in latest FF version
hello Vishal,
just downloaded and installed your Firefox extension, and I can’t praise it enough. It’s quite fantastic. I wish I had an account at mozilla so I could review it there. Maybe I will make one later and give you 5 stars. It works perfectly and i can now search Hindi phrases on google by just typing English in the search box, as the transliteration is much faster than google translate.
Just one thing that I wanted to say– the F12 shortcut key clashes with Web Developer Console. I think you should promote the Alt P shortcut in the introduction text on and help . It took me a few minutes to figure out how to activate it. Providing a configurable short-cut key would be better.
Thanks for the great work , and all the best.

Thanks bro for add ons and PramukhIME. Thank you very much
વાહ
ખુબજ સરસ,અને સરળતા કરી આપી છે.
મોબાઈલ મા વાપરવા માટે શું કરવું વિગત વાર જણાવશો તો આપનો આભારી રહીશ.
Let clarify.
The menu appears on hitting F10 and from there I can select any Indic script. Howerver, that appears to be the only way to select any font – Flipping between English and an Indic font using F12 seems to have been overridden by the Firefox 25.0 now.
I have been using your firefox addon for the last couple of years.
After I upgraded my firefox to 25.0 I dont see the Pramukh menu and when I hit F12 I get a window to debug javascript at the bottom instead.
Can you tell me how to make the Pramukh addon work in firefox 25.0 (This on windows 7 laptop)
Thank you.
good morning….vishLbhai…can I use on my samsung note2 mobile? i can download it on my mo. but can*t open..will you please help me to open it and guide easily in gujarati if possible. thanks lot. usha
How To download Pramukh type pad

Dear Vishalbhai,
The current Pramukh type pad for firefox is not compatible for firefox 4.*.*. Any plan to release latest version which may be compatible with the forefox 4.*.* ?

I want to write in marathi.
Using this add-on, you can type in Marathi as well. You may also want to check out Pramukh Type Pad or PramukhIME for Marathi (Devanagari) typing.

Select “Devanagari” from the “Script” menu and then select “Help”. It will open up dialog for devagari key map. I have also created software called PramukhIME using which you will be able to type in Indian languages directly in MS Word, Notepad, Firefox, Internet Explorer in short all application in computer. You can download it from https://www.vishalon.net/Download.aspx
Where is it possible to get the keymap for the devnagri font? For example, I am still not able to type “apple” in devnagari. what keys must be pressed for typing the accent a in apple? Where could I get the other keymap functions? Thanks!! : )
શ્રી વિશાલભાઈ,
નમસ્કાર, કુશળ હશો.
ગુજરાતીમાં યુનિકોડ પછી પ્રમુખ IME એક અભૂતપૂર્વ ક્રાંતિ સર્જવામાં સફળ રહી છે. સુંદર અને સહેલા ટાઈપિંગ માટે પ્રમુખ IME માટે આભાર. અમારા જેવાને તો તમે ફોન્ટ અટેચમેન્ટમાંથી મુક્તિ અપાવી દીધી. હજુ બે માંગણીઓ છે. પૂરી થશે તો ખુબ જ રાહત મળશે અમને.
૧. શોર્ટકટ કી Ctrl અથવા Alt સાથે આપો તો અનુકુળ રહેશે. આપેલી ચાર ફંક્શન કી ઘણાં સોફ્ટવેરમાં મુશ્કેલી સર્જે છે.
૨. યુનિકોડ ગુજરાતીમાં લખાયેલ લખાણ મોઝીલા-ફાયરફોક્સમાં બરાબર રેન્ડર થતાં નથી. ‘હ્રસ્વ ઇ’ વ્યંજનની પછી મૂકાયેલો મળે છે. કોઈ રસ્તો?
ફરી એક વખત આભાર

Piyush,
I am currently working on major improvements. I am going to release it within few days which will be compatible with FF 3.5
Update (7/23/09) – I have updated this add-on to make it compatible with FF 3.5
Does not work with the latest firefox 3.5
Thanks Vishal,
I used direct install from zip file using wordpress dashboard.
You were looking for the files on my main site however, I tried it on my हिन्दी ब्लॉग at http://hindi.rcmishra.com |
धन्यवाद!
@RC Mishra
Dr. Mishra,
Make sure that you have uploaded “indicime” folder at proper location. Please refer to readme.txt as it is bit tricky.
Hello Vishal,
I downloaded you Indic IME plugin for wordpress, I tried to use it with latest version of wordpress, no error message was shown however its not working.
Please get some time to look into that matter to update the plugin if required or let me know, if i’m making some mistake
Thanks,
RC Mishra
