Keyboards
Gujarati Indic IME provides support for five types of keyboard:
• Gujarati Transliteration – Using phonetic typing, the user can type his message in

Roman using the Standard English keyboard, which is transliterated on-the-fly to

Gujarati. It works on the logic of phonetics and is most effective when you spell the
word the way it is spoken.
• Gujarati Typewriter- Another Gujarati keyboard used in typing. Typing can be done
as per the key mapping of Gujarati typewriter keyboard.
• Gujarati Inscript - Another Gujarati Keyboard where the user types the basic
characters in sequence and an underlying logic determines that which of these
characters have to be combined and substituted to form a glyph.
• Gujarati Godrej Indica- Another Gujarati keyboard used in typing. Typing can be
done as per the key mapping of Gujarati Godrej Indica keyboard.
• Gujarati Remington Indica- Another Gujarati keyboard used in typing. Typing can
be done as per the key mapping of Gujarati Remington Indica keyboard.

characters in Gujarati.
