The package contains: a full set of Tibetan and diacritical fonts, a full working version of the TibetD Reader software made especially for viewing our dictionaries and texts; an abridged version of each of the dictionaries shown above; and a guide to the use of the dictionaries and software. After installation, a new entry in the Windows start menu called "Padma Karpo Translation Comm" will give you access to the whole evaluation package. You can run one sample dictionary at a time or several together to see how effective they are alone and how easily they can be used together. When you have finished with the evaluation, you can use the Windows uninstaller to remove it from your system (and it really will be removed; we use the latest installation/uninstallation software!).

Electronic Texts with Reader Software
We have a variety of important texts from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition in electronic form. Some are available for purchase and some are available free.

Complete information about the texts available for purchase is here. The texts for purchase come as a complete package, like the dictionaries, with fonts, TibetD Reader, and installer. The reader software is the same as for the dictionaries; our texts and dictionaries and software are part of a integrated environment carefully put together for working with the Tibetan language and pursuing buddhist studies. The editions of the texts are very carefully produced.

We also have a range of Tibetan Buddhist texts in electronic form available for free download here. These texts are just the text files in TibetD Reader format and do not include TibetD Reader software.
