Background |
The Vidyut keyboard enables direct typing of Unicode-compliant Devanāgarī and selected Sanskrit Vedic and metrical marks on Windows computers using a phonetic method. The keyboard generally is consistent with the ITRANS version 5.3 ASCII transliteration schema, with additional features to provide marks not mapped in ITRANS. Both Google and Microsoft have released 64-bit IMEs for Indic languages that include phonetic virtual keyboards, but to date none of the available alternatives provides a robust solution for Sanskrit text, including all marks needed to set the full range of classical and Vedic content. Vidyut provides a more complete alternative for users working with Sanskrit texts. The word vidyut (विद्युत्) means lightning in Sanskrit. |
