For instance, if we type “namaste” using the Phonetic keyboard, it will automatically suggest नमस्ते /ਨਮਸਤੇ/ નમસ્તે in Hindi/Punjabi/Gujarati. As words are typed using the existing keyboard, Indic Phonetic keyboards transliterate them to suggest possible Indic text options. Different with Indic INSCRIPT Keyboards, Indic Phonetic Keyboards are based on natural pronunciation and users can use it immediately without any learning cost. The transliteration rules used in the keyboards are based on ISO 15919.

The phonetic keyboards are available starting from Windows Update, and Indian language users won’t need to download and install any external Input Method Editors (IMEs) to input Indic text in a phonetic style. The Indic Phonetic keyboards are in addition to the Indic Traditional INSCRIPT keyboards already available with Windows.
