PonVizhi can be installed in many versions of Windows starting from Windows 95.
Scanning has to be done from outside, and the stored BMP files have to 
used for recognition.

For Windows

• System Requirements
  • OS : Windows 95 onwards.

• Install Instructions
  • 1. Quit all programs before running setup.
  • 2. Download and Install PonVizhi as you would install any other Windows software.
    Restart windows so that setup can update the files properly.
    
  • 3. Go to c:\Windows\fonts folder and refresh it, by clicking on
    VIEW - REFRESH. Check whether fonts like TAM-LFS-Kamban are there.
    
  • 4. Launch PonVizhi by clicking START - PROGRAMS - LEARNFUN SYSTEMS - PonVizhi.
    
  • 5. In the case of Windows NT, PonVizhi works provided Service pack 3 has been installed. In case PonVizhi is not installing, try again. In NT, instead of Tamil if you see junk characters, then reboot the system, and then start PonVizhi again.
    The fonts will be refreshed then.
    
  • 6. In the case of Windows ME, disable all the languages except for one
    English Language version, for example, English ( American). This is
    essential, for the Tamil fonts to be seen properly. Also refresh the font folder.

    8. Recognition works well with fonts of size between 10 and 14.
