[Samskrita] Android app for Sanskrit script

[G S S Murthy]

Dear  all,

I am looking for a baraha IME like app for my recently acquired Android phone. When I googled, several options popped up. I would like to know from experienced users from this group which would work best. Android version is Lollipop, specifically Motog. Transliteration scheme should be like Baraha/Itrans.

Thanks for guidance,

Regards,

Murthy

hariH OM,

   Why don't you try the MultilingO keyboard? It is not an IME, but it has some interesting features and the developer is very responsive to our needs.

svasti,

I prefer a App with standard Roman key board with built in transliteration scheme. Just type in one script and let the converter do the job !

Key strokes needed for all regional languages

a aa i ii u uu  ae e ai aw o au aM aH  

Ta Tha Dha Na Sha La 

Output:

a   ā   i   ī  u  ū  ă e ai ŏ  o au aṁ aḥ..............Roman

ṭa ṭha ḍha ṇa ṣa ḻa

अ आ इ ई उ ऊ  ऍ ए ऐ आॅ ओ औ अं अः  

ट ठ ढ ण ष ळ

  You can try Indic key board which can be enable keyboards for different Indian languages and could be used by input language options easily. It can be enabled by input methods compact, inscript, and by google transliteration also which is convenient.

In all languages you have both ङ ञ letters.

You can use Google Keyboard also. But there is no option for Sanskrit apart from हिन्दी but there is no ङ in the keyboard display, but you can get it by pressing न only which gives the option for ङ also with which one can manage Sanskrit typing like  गङ्गा, पञ्च etc.

Seems like bhagavaan heard your prayers. The new Google Indic keyboard has the desired functionality. i am going strictly by the description given (copied below) in the playstore and haven't tried it yet:

Google Indic Keyboard supports different modes of input:

- Transliteration mode - Get output in your native language by spelling out the pronunciation using English letters (For example, “namaste“ -> “नमस्ते“.)

- Native keyboard mode - Type directly in native script.

- Handwriting mode (currently available for Hindi only) - Write directly on your phone screen.

- Hinglish mode - If you choose “Hindi” as an input language, the English keyboard will suggest both English and Hinglish terms.

You can download Sawarachakra keyboard for marathi which has all the needs for writing in Sanskrit.

Can you please tell me how to write ङ or ङित् using google IME in mails its always been a struggle to write such words in e-mail.

for Mac its built in Sanskrit keyboard so I don't have to think about it. But its always a pain writing in windows.

धन्यवाद: - राम

Murthy,

Did you try this? This may allow you to type in regional languages but not in IAST scheme.
