Instead of learning a completely new keyboard layout (like InScript), you type how the word sounds in English, and the software converts it into the corresponding Indian script.
Akruti English Phonetic is a transliteration typing method developed by Akruti (a software company known for Indian language fonts and typing tools). It allows you to type in languages like Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, etc., by spelling words phonetically using English letters.
If you’re just starting to type in Indian languages, skip Akruti and learn Unicode-based phonetic typing. It’s easier, future-proof, and works everywhere. Only use Akruti for backward compatibility.
