I use Surface Pro 8 with Windows 11. I am unable to do handwriting in Malayalam. How do I enable this? In the settings I can see only "basic typing" is available. How do I get "Handwriting" option ?

Malayalam Keyboard

Just to confirm, are you talking about a physical keyboard or a software? If your goal is to be able to use Malayalam as an input language, you can follow the steps in the article provided above. Once you set it as default and restart your computer, Malayalam
will be the input language, even if your keyboard is the normal QWERTY English keyboard. If you need the On-Screen Keyboard, follow these steps:

• Click Start.
• Go to Settings.
• Click Ease of Access.
• Choose Keyboard.
• Turn on the On-Screen Keyboard. As long as your input language is Malayalam, the On-Screen Keyboard will show the Malayalam alphabet instead of the English alphabet.

If you are looking for programs that will let you type in Malayalam without changing your computer's default language, we suggest searching for Malayalam apps in the Windows Store.

Let us know if you need more help with enabling Malayalam on your computer.

 

Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro Gets Priced

All of this doesn't matter what so ever. The fact is Windows 8 tablets are priced way too high. People are going to by the iPad long before they ever buy these simply because of price point. Microsoft had a great idea to have the same UI across all of their devices, but they are dead in the water due to price.
