Hello Friends,

I'll like to know which is the most popular and convenient Hindi Typing Keyboard. We assume that Kruti Dev is very popular among Hindi Typists as its keyboard is similar to that of the old Ramington Typewriters that was used for typing in Hindi.

Today most computers use Kruti Dev fonts and this Keyboard.

Are we right or is there any other keyboard which is more popular and used more often by writers of Hindi language or any other language/dialect based on Devnagari.

Actually we are working on Unicode Hindi Conversion Tool and have based it on Kruti Dev, we hope to add more functionality and make it really handy.

Right now we are providing it online for typing in Kruti Dev or converting Kruti Dev text to Unicode Hindi and therefore need your suggestions, to make it really useful and handy for people who need it.

Currently developers are working on this and we can improve it easily. (We do not have any plans to commercialize this tool).

So, if there are other more popular (or convenient) keyboards, then please suggest them here, so that we can look at them too.

Thanks & Regards,

इनस्क्रिप्‍ट ज्‍यादा वैज्ञानिक की बो May 22, 2011

इनस्क्रिप्‍ट ज्‍यादा वैज्ञानिक की बोर्ड लेआउट है और इसका इस्‍तेमाल भी काफी लोग करते हैं। लेकिन मुफत् का और बेहद प्रचलित फोंट कृतिदेव है जिसका कीबोर्ड लेआउट रैमिंगटन है।
कुछ वेंडरों जैसे फोर सी लिपिका और एपीएस डिजाइनर ने भी इनस्क्रिप्‍ट के जरिये कृतिदेव में टाइपिंग की सुविधा दे रखही है।

मेरे पास बस इतनी ही जानकारी है। कोई भी इनस्क्रिप्‍ट वाला अगर कृतिदेव में काम करना चाहे तो जुगाड़ मैं बता दूंगा।

NO UNIFORMITY May 22, 2011

So far the most popular key board lay out in Hindi is concerned, I think there is no unanimity in this regard. However, these three types of layouts are widely used by the Hindi community -

1. Remington mode
2. Inscript mode
3. Transliteration mode

Earlier, Remington was the most perfect key board lay out but INSCRIPT mode is the most scientific key board for all Indic languages including Hindi. At the same time, a large number of people still using Transliteration mode to avoid learning another keyboard.

TBIL converter gives you almost 90-95% accuracy while converting Krutidev into unicode and vice versa.

इसके दो उत्तर हैं... May 24, 2011

पहला, कि सबसे ज्‍यादा पॉपुलर कीबोर्ड Kruti Dev 010 वाला है।

दूसरा, कि यूनीकोड के प्रचलन और भविष्‍य की संभावनाओं और सहूलियतों को देखते हुए Inscript कीबोर्ड सबसे अच्‍छा है। इसलिए मेरी राय में हम सभी को देर सबेर Inscript पर शिफ़्ट हो जाना चाहिए।

@"कोई भी इनस्क्रिप्‍ट वाला अगर कृतिदेव में काम करना चाहे तो जुगाड़ मैं बता दूंगा।

Peopleartist जी, जल्‍दी बताइए, आपका आभारी रहूँगा। मैं बहुत दिनों से ढूँढ रहा हूँ। चाहें तो मुझे ई-मेल भी कर सकते हैं:

TOPIC STARTER
Inscript Keyboard is The Future of Unicode Hindi Typing Jan 28

आप सभी का घन्यवाद,

आप सब के विचार पढ़ कर लगता हैं की भविष्य में इनस्क्रिप्ट टाइपिंग ही सबसे ज्यादा प्रचलित होगी और जिसको हिन्दी टाइपिंग सीखनी हैं उसे इनस्क्रिप्ट ही सीखनी चाहिए ।

After reading all these posts, we have tried to place all useful tools for occasional online Hindi users at one place, at our site at Infoweb Services.

Thank you all for your kind suggestion.

With Regards,

for Infoweb Services
