 རིན་མེད་ཐུ་མིའི་ཡིག་ཆའི་ཀློག་ཐབས།

Note that this software is for Windows; we do not have a general Reader for the Mac (though we do have Mac versions of three of our dictionaries).  The Reader will work in all versions of Windows from XP up and has minimal memory and disk storage requirements.

Commercial software does not fully support Tibetan text formatting and mostly does not allow for searching Tibetan text.  For example, even the very popular Adobe PDF system has trouble with these things.  For this reason, we made and use our own software for presenting Tibetan text.  One of the special features of our software is that it is the only software in the world aware of all of the details of Tibetan text formatting.  Another feature is that has exceptional search capabilities for Tibetan text.  Our TibetD Reader is like Adobe Acrobat except that it handles Tibetan text with all of its specialized requirements, perfectly.  This gives you a remarkable tool for working with Tibetan text.
