There is a 74% chance that the first character of your word is on the screen and after that there is a 93% (and higher) chance that the next characters will be predicted to your fingertips. Predicted characters very often in the top left corner and most often you type pressing the same key, at a position comfortable to your thumb.

The intelligent technology is based on linguistics, AI and the dynamic intelligent keypad is patented all over the world and winner of many awards for innovation.

14 Indian languages are supported with this same system of typing and orthography. And many other languages of the world.

For Conjunct characters (adha ka etc, consonant clusters) please put a puLLi (Dot) [்] (symbol with + sign) in the middle of the two consonants. The Conjunct will automatically form. The puLLi (Dot)[்] is also a character, predicted automatically like others and shown in RED for your easy recognition.
