Varta Keyboard

Introducing the Varta Keyboard (Vārta Keyboard) - a versatile and intuitive multilingual keyboard designed to enhance your typing experience across multiple languages. Built on phonemic principles, the Varta Keyboard is designed to ensure accurate and efficient text input through typing/ swiping.

The Varta Keyboard does not include separate keys for vowel signs or modifiers (such as 'ा', 'ौ',ಾ, ು, 'ു', 'ൌ', 'ா', 'ொ') in Indian languages. Some keyboards will have separate keys for such vowel signs, which leads to typos or linguistically incorrect words getting typed in those keyboards. With the Varta Keyboard, the appropriate modifier is automatically generated, when the user inputs the corresponding vowel after the consonant: 'ব্' + 'আ' → 'বা', 'र्' + 'आ' → 'रा' or ವ್ + ಾ --> ವಾ or 'ക്' + 'ഉ' → 'കു' or 'ப்' + 'ஆ' →'பா' or 'ర ' + 'ఆ' → 'రా' . This allows you to type in your language without mistakes.

Varta Keyboard currently supports Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Sanskrit, Tamil and Telugu with more Indian languages to be added soon.

Varta Keyboard offers the following features:

* Slide typing feature in Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Sanskrit, Tamil and Telugu
* Word predictions from over 1 lakh words in each language
* Custom dictionary for user preferred words
* Three language variants for Tamil: IN, MY and LK


Stay tuned for more languages to be added soon!
