About

Varta Keyboard: Type in Indian Languages Effortlessly

Varta Keyboard allows you to type in multiple Indian languages directly within your browser using a standard QWERTY keyboard. By combining intuitive phonetic typing with powerful Voice-to-Text capabilities, Varta makes digital communication in your native language seamless and fast.

Smart Phonetic Typing:
Forget memorizing complex layouts. Varta uses an intelligent phonetic engine that automatically generates the correct modifiers and vowel signs based on your keystrokes.

How it works: Simply type the consonant and vowel sounds in sequence.

•  Bengali: Type ‘ব্’ + 'আ’ → বা
•  Hindi/Marathi/Sanskrit: Type ‘र्’ + ‘आ’ → रा
•  Kannada: Type ‘ವ್’ + ‘ಆ’ → ವಾ
•  Malayalam: Type ‘ക്’ + ‘ഉ’ → കു
•  Tamil: Type ‘க்’ + ‘ஓ’ → கோ
•  Telugu: Type ‘ర’ + ‘ఆ’ → రా

Key Features
•  Voice Typing: Speak naturally and let Varta transcribe your words into your chosen language.
•  Intuitive Layout: No separate keys for vowel signs; the extension handles the grammar of the script for you.
•  On-Screen Reference: Toggle the virtual keyboard display to see the key layout at any time.
•  Advanced Characters: Access conjuncts, symbols, and Malayalam chillaksharams easily using the Alt + Shift (or Opt + Shift on Mac) modifier.

Setup & Requirements
To ensure the best experience, please set your system’s physical keyboard language to English.

Supported Languages
•  Varta currently supports: Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, and English.
•  More Indian languages are coming soon your way! Let us know the next language you would like to see in Varta.
