About Sherik

Sherik is a stripped down version of Akhar - a Punjabi Word Processor and Gurmukhi OCR. Sherik is free software developed for educational purposes and it supports only one Punjabi font, Akhar. Sherik provides a number of features that make the use of Punjabi Language on a computer easy and provides a number of tools that automate and simplify the creation and formatting of documents.

The Punjabi Computing Resource Centre is primarily designed to facilitate the use of Gurmukhi via Unicode. Sherik does not use Unicode internally but text may be saved in Unicode format using the 'Export' function.
