Devanāgarī app for a Tablet

[john.ba...@bigpond.com]

Hi All,

This is a follow up to my post a couple of days ago. Thanks to Eddie Hadley for replying! Things have changed since my previous post.

I am keen to downsize from a laptop to "a laptop within the body of a tablet". I thought first of getting a MS Surface Pro 2 running Windows 8.1. I have since learned that the machine only has WI-FI capability which doesn't suit me. I require cellular as well.

QUESTION: Is anyone able to write Sanskrit in both roman script as well as devanāgarī on a tablet? If so what is the device and the operating system (Apple, Android, Windows) and what app are you using?

As I mentioned in my previous post, I am starting my second year of Sanskrit at the Australian National University (ANU) in February. I will need an app that functions quickly similar to iTranslator 2003 which I currently use on my laptop under Windows 7. For a typical assignment there may be 15 sentences which must be transliterated from devanāgarī into roman script and then translated into English and another 15 vice versa. Thus, I need a fairly 'powerful' tool which will allow me to generate Sanskrit and not simply some app which after an hour I am able to send someone a short e-mail.

Thanks for you assistance.

My Samsung Tab has an android roman/devanagari keyboard that uses a modified Harvard-Kyoto transliteration.

If you have an Android, like me, You can use Google keyboard and switch to Hindi as an additional language and it supports both Sanskrit and Hindi.

A beautiful app that works on PC and Android is Lipikaar: 

http://www.lipikaar.com/download-lipikaar-typing-keyboard-on-android 

The above link provides an online editor, and a trial download The price is about $20.00 for the PC version. The android trial is free. 

Lipikaar uses a remarkable intuitive system for entering Sanskrit on an English keyboard, and allows you to switch between English and Sanskrit. I highly recommend it.
