Windows 10: Need some improvement for Indic Phonetic keyboard

Microsoft recently release Indic Script built-in Phonetic keyboard in new update. Its really good news for us because we didn't need to any external software to write any Indic Script. But i think this can be more improved.

I am Bengali, so i am showing example how to improve more in Bangla Phonetic.


There should be some specific input process, to write any kind of word without need of suggestion. Such as:

• o = অ
• O = ও, ো
• a = আ, া
• (ko = ক, kO = কো, ka = কা, these three function is very necessary for Bangla Phonetic)
• i = ই, ি
• ee = ঈ, ী
• u = উ, ু
• oo = ঊ, ূ (now if write noor , it show নুর (na+u kaar) instead of নূর (na+oo/uu kaar)
• rri = ঋ, ৃ (now if write krish, it show ক্রিশ (ka+ra phala) instead of কৃষ (k+rri kaar)
• t = ত
• th = থ
• T = ট
• Th = ঠ
• d = দ
• dh = ধ
• D = ড
• Dh = ঢ
• n =ন
• N = ণ
• s = স
• sh = শ
• S = ষ
• r = র
• R = ড়
• rh / Rh = ঢ়
• ng = ং
• Ng = ঙ
• y = য়
• Y = ঞ
• j = জ
• z = য

And some sign, which we can't currently write in need.

• t` (or something else) = ৎ (Khanda Ta)
• n` (or something else) = ঁ
• h` (or something else) = ঃ
• `` (or something else) = ্‌ [Virama (Hasant)]
• $ = ₹, Indian Rupee Sign [for Bengali (India)] ; ৳, Bangladeshi Taka Sign [for Bangla (Bangladesh)]

These thing will be make Bangla Phonetic input more meaningful and scientific.

Phonetic keyboard for Gujarati language is not available for Windows 10

Hi,

My name is Angel. I am an Independent Advisor. Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Please refer to the Microsoft help article given below:

Gujarati required English (United States) Base language 

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/lang...

Microsoft India recently announced the availability of new phonetic keyboards in Indian languages to members of the Windows Insider Program. The new feature is available in 10 Indian languages including Hindi, Bangla, Tamil, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Odia,
Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

As words are typed using the existing keyboard, Indic Phonetic keyboards transliterate them to suggest possible Indic text options. For instance, if we type “namaste” using the Phonetic keyboard, it will automatically suggest नमस्ते / ਨਮਸਤੇ / નમસ્તે in Hindi/Punjabi/Gujarati.

The new Indic Phonetic keyboards have been added to Windows Insider Preview Build 18272 and are in addition to the Indic Traditional INSCRIPT keyboards that are already available.

To set up and use Indic Phonetic keyboards, you’d need to head to Time & Language in Settings, select the language, and add the preferred keyboard. Lastly, enable the phonetic keyboard by clicking on the input indicator on the taskbar (or press the Windows
key + Space) and select the Indic Phonetic keyboard.

Once finalized, the keyboards are expected to be added to Windows 10 later, subsequent to which Indian language users won’t need to download and install any external Input Method Editors (IMEs) to input Indic text in a phonetic style.

Windows phonetic keyboard for Hindi on Windows 10 home single lanugage

Hi Charles,

Thanks for quick response to my query. I did all the steps and put the desired language as the first language. Then I went to add the keyboard for the language. However, that keyboard does not show up in the list of keyboards. The keyboard was launched by
Microsoft in June this year. (phonetic Indic keyboard)

Does upgrading to beta builds through insider program help here?
