Windows 10: Russian Phonetic Keyboard- not mnemonic can i find one?

Hi folks,


just purchased a new laptop and WIndows 10 no longer has the old phonetic keyboard i had on my 3 year old machine- both the old laptop and the windows russian phonetic keyboard.


Is the old Phonetic Keybboard accessible somewhere to download/install? It's much simpler for me to have a normal one-keystroke per letter/symbol rather than the hokey occasional two-keystrokes for certain letters, which is what the mnemonic one has.


Thanks in advance

Russian Phonetic Keyboard for Windows 10

In order to use a Russian phonetic keyboard, follow the following steps.

1. Go to "Region & Language" in your settings.

2. Click on Russian/ усский and click "Options."

3. Click on "Add a keyboard" and choose: Russian - Mnemonic.

I hope this helped you out.

NOTE: the "Йй" or J in western terms, is a bit glitchy.

 

Russian Phonetic Keyboard for Windows 10

Since no one has specifically explained how to get the Russian phonetic let me try:

After you follow the instructions from the first post by Pawan Dhondiyal and you have the Russian Language added go back to the Language
Control Panel (you'll see it if you just hit the start/windows button and start typing "language".

In there you will see the Russian language listed, Click on Options link to the right

Under Input Method click Add an Input Method

In the list select Russian - Mnemonic and that is the key

That is the phonetic keyboard you've been looking for and it's a very good one like typing "ya" will give you a "я" etc. As a tip I also bring up the on-screen keyboard when I use it in case I have difficulty guessing the English equivalent (again hit the
start key and start typing "keyboard" and you will see it) sometimes when you switch it doesn't change the on-screen keyboard right away, click it somewhere or min/restore it and it will refresh.

The name Mnemonic is what threw me off at first and I started with Bulgarian Phonetic but that one is missing some Russian letters and is just not as good as the Mnemonic one.

Enjoy
