About SinhalaPad
Sinhala Pad is a lightweight tool/utility which comes in handy to type in Sinhala using normal english soft keyboard.
The main advantage SinhalaPad offers is that it doesn't require Internet connection for typing in Sinhala. As you start typing the text is instantly converted into Sinhala in another view below english text.
Other features include:
* Allows saving the text to a file.
* Opening saved Sinhala text for re-editing.
* Allows sending the text via SMS/Whatsapp/Facebook Messenger/Email etc. Just tap the Share button at the top and select how you wanna share.
* The text can also be copied which can be later pasted wherever required.(Say for example, you want to add a new contact to phonebook with name in Sinhala.)
* Separate buttons are available at the top for each of these features.
Examples:
සිංහල --- siMhala
ඔවුන් ඒ පිලිබඳ සිහින දකිනවා --- ovun E pilibandda sihina dakinavaa
The saved documents can be located in your external storage(or in your Internal storage on some devices) at: /Your_SD_Card/SinhalaPad folder.
The saved documents can be opened with any text editor of your choice. The same file opens perfectly on your laptop/desktop too. However if you want to update the file, you should open it in SinhalaPad .
One more thing to note here is that the folder also contains a "tmp" folder which contains some metadata of the files saved. So please make sure that the files under this folder is not deleted incase you want to edit the saved files later.
Please Note: The app purely depends on the unicode support of your device. As you start typing in english, if you dont see corresponding Sinhala text being generated, then probably your device doesnt support unicode and sorry that SinhalaPad cannot be of any use to you.
The permissions read/write external storage are for opening/saving existing SinhalaPad documents. The other permissions are of course added to serve advertisements.
