Lipi

A Indian Language Keyboard for Fast Typing

This soft keyboard application Lipi is meant for typing fast in Indian (Indic) Languages.

Many valued users requested to provide a soft keyboard in Indian languages where the keys are larger so that the finger size matches the key size. Such a keyboard helps faster typing. Considering this request, an attempt was made to develop such a keyboard. In this keyboard, the keys are big but each key represents multiple characters.

You can use this keyboard for sending messages, creating documents etc in Indic Languages.

If you press a key multiple time, different characters will be typed. The character range for each key is mentioned on each key. Separate keys are there for Matras, essential symbols, punctuations etc. Complex letters (Sanyuktaksharas or Yuktaksharas) can be created with the help of ‘Halant’.

This keyboard also help user in typing easily by providing list of essential words starting with the characters typed. It also learns new words when the user types them. It always shows frequently used words as part of auto-prediction.

This keyboard supports essential emojis as well.

At present Hindi, Odia (Oriya) and Bangla (Bengali) languages are supported. Soon support of other Indian Languages will be added.

Please feel free to provide your valuable feedback, so that this application can be improved.

Happy typing in Indic Languages.
