Sanskrit typing with Gboard or Google Indic Keyboard

[Ram Ramachandran]

How do I type half letters like 'k'? And how do I type words like 'Buddhi'? using Google virtual keyboards in Android?

Thanks!

Just tried it with Gboard with the "Sanskrit" keyboard layout.

For "क्" -- first choose क (in the top-left). In the bottom-left, you'll see the half क्

For typing "बुद्धि" -- first choose ब then choose बु then choose द then choose द् (in the bottom-left, as with क् above), then choose ध, then choose द्धि

(It does not seem very convenient, but maybe one can get used to it.)

The other alternative is the "abc -> संस्कृतम्" keyboard layout, where one can type (using a QWERTY keyboard) "buddhi" and hope to get the correct output बुद्धि (usually works for common words).

Is your choice of Sanskrit phonetic or something else? Mine is phonetic.

BTW, the gliding option removes most of the kinks for me like in Buddhi, trayambakam, etc. but I still haven't figured out the half k and similar ones.

Appreciate your help.
