Swarachakra keyboard for indic scripts (tutorial)

Published:02 June 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

Swarachakra is a text input method developed for Indic scripts on touch-screen devices. Swarachakra uses a logically ordered design based on the structure of Indic scripts. Swarachakra displays the consonants sequenced according to the logical structure of Indic scripts, phonetically grouped and arranged in a grid similar to those found in most school textbooks. Currently we have launched Swarachakra for Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Odia and Punjabi (Gurmukhi) for Android devices.
