UniType fills a particular need and fills it well. While useful for languages written in the Roman script, it is especially useful for non-Roman alphabets. UniType will eventually support 175 languages, from Spanish and Russian to Egyptian Hieroglyphic, Hebrew, Arabic and Tibetan. The strength of UniType is that once the program is installed, there is nothing new to learn.
Text is entered into applications that the user already knows how to use.
Though not a complete substitute for a word processor in these languages, it can, when necessary, serve this function. And if the user needs to enter text in several different languages, there are few other options available. UniVerse will be most useful for those who need to enter words, phrases or quotations into standard Windows applications. In addition to entering multilingual text in a word- processing document, UniType can be used in presentation and desktop publishing software and for sending multilingual faxes directly from applications or from fax software. Once installed, UniType is easy to use.
