Search Bijoy keyboard on Amazon.Bijoy Keyboard is a graphical layout changing software for Microsoft Windows, MacOS and Linux and it is a Unicode and ANSI supported Bengali typing software. The first version of Bijoy was released on 16 December 1988. From then until the release of Unicode-based Avro Keyboard, it was the most used Bengali typing software. The second version of Bijoy was published in 2011 to make Unicode fully available. While retaining all the features of the first version, some new characters were added to the second version which are required for writing Unicode-based Bangla. In fact, the second version of Bijoy has been fully implemented in the Unicode and Gold versions of Bijoy.
Bijoy-Avro debate
Proprietor of closed-source software for typing Bengali in computers, Bijoy, and the CEO of Anand Computers Mustafa Jabbar wrote an article in Janakantha indicating concerns about Avro on 4 April 2010. He claimed hackers had hacked into Bijoy and spread Bijoy software on the internet. He also called Avro a pirated software. He accused UNDP of assisting the hackers and of persuading the EC to use Avro in building a national database. Mehdi Hasan Khan informed that closed-source software cannot be hacked and this is why hacking Bijoy is not possible.[1] In opposition, on behalf of Avro, Mehedi Hasan rejected all accusations and accused Mustafa Jabbar of calling them ''thieves'' on different platforms, and their protest was not given enough attention. For those who work with Bengali on computers, legal notices and attacks by law enforcing agencies are common. He also said that because of the use of free Avro instead of commercial Bijoy, Mustafa Jabbar lost 50 million taka, and this is why he was making false accusations. [2]
Avro 4.5.1 software provides a layout named "Unibijoy". Mustafa Jabbar claimed this was a copy of the Bijoy keyboard and filed a complaint against Mehedi Hasan at the copyright office. Based on the complaint, the copyright office sent a show cause notice to Mehedi Hasan. Subsequently, at the request of Mehdi Hasan Khan, the deadline was extended to 23 May 2010.[3]
An agreement was reached between Mehdi Hasan Khan and Mustafa Jabbar at a formal meeting on June 17, 2010, at the Bangladesh Computer Council office in Agargaon, Dhaka, in the presence of many IT experts. Both agreed that by August 20, 2010, the Unibijoy Layout would be removed from the Avro keyboard software and the copyright infringement complaint filed against Mehdi Hassan Khan would be withdrawn from the Copyright Office.[4] According to the agreement, the Unibijoy keyboard was removed from version 4.5.3 of Avro. Mustafa Jabbar welcomed the move by the Avro authorities.[5]
Bijoy-Ridmik Debate
On 19 February 2015, the Android version of Bijoy Bangla software was launched on Google Play Store. After that, Mustafa Jabbar posted a status on his Facebook with this app. In that status, he complained about Bengali keyboard apps for illegal use of the Bijoy keyboard layout.[6] Google later sent separate email notices to the developers of Ridmik and Unibijoy keyboards. It is said that Mustafa Jabbar complained to Google about the copyright infringement against the two apps. And in the wake of this allegation, Google removed the two apps in accordance with the DMCA law of the United States.[6] Ridmik keyboard was later released on the Play Store with a new layout. [7]
