Swarachakra Gujarati is a touch-screen keyboard for inputing text in Gujarati. (Swarachakra is also available in Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Punjabi, Bengali, Konkani and Tamil).

Swarachakra uses a logically ordered design based on the structure of Gujarati script. Swarachakra displays the consonants sequenced access to the logical structure of script, phonetically grouped and arranged in a grid similar to the found in most school textbooks.

Typing with swarachakra

In Gujarati, we frequently need to type a combination of a consonant ( the ) and a matra ( s ) like + . When you touch a consonant, a chakra with combination of consonants and 10 frequent matras pops up ( , the, the, dhu, dhu, dhu, dhai, dh, dh, ... ). The chakra gives a preview of the posible character combinations. To select a combination, you slide the stylus or finger talk it.

Typing conjunctives like cree, place, ly is particularly hard for the most people. Swarachakra Makes It Easy. FIRST tap on the first part of the combination and select the halant from the chakra .

Swarachakra then shows a preview of all possible conjuncts that begin with that consonant . If you need to add a matra, select it from the new chakra like Earlier

To type a rafar , a rashtrachinha ( tr ), first select the corresponding key from the right-most bottom key, and then type as usual.

Complete Vowels ( A, this, E, E, U, U, U, A, A, O, 2 ) appear in a separate chakra on the bottom right. The Less Used Vowels and Matras are next to it ( ઽ, o, r, s, ૄ, ૄ, 3, 3, ૅ, o ). Numerals, symbols and rarely used characters appear on a shift. You could also switch to the QWERTY KEYPAD temperarily to input English characters.
