About Swarachakra Konkani Keyboard

"स्वराज्य हो म्हजो जल्मसिद्ध हक्क आसा, आनी तो हांव मेळयतोलोच" - बाळ गंगाधर टिळक. If your device can display this sentence in Konkani perfectly, then your device supports Konkani and Swarachakra should also work well. If you do not see any text, or if some of the words are incorrect, Swarachakra may not work well.

Swarachakra Konkani(स्वरचक्र कोंकणी) is a touch-screen keyboard for inputting text in Konkani. (For Marathi please use Swarachakra Marathi and for Hindi please use Swarachakra Hindi. Swarachakra is also available in Gujarati, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Punjabi, Bengali and Tamil ). Swarachakra uses a logically ordered design based on the structure of Devanagari. Swarachakra displays the consonants sequenced according to the logical structure of Devanagari, phonetically grouped and arranged in a grid similar to those found in most school textbooks.

Typing with Swarachakra
In Devanagari, we frequently need to type a combination of a consonant (ध) and a matra (ो) like ध + ो = धो. When you touch a consonant, a chakra with combination of consonants and 10 frequent matras pops up (धा, धि, धी, धु, धू, धे, धै, धो...). The chakra gives a preview of the possible character combinations. To select a combination, you slide the stylus or finger towards it.
Typing conjuncts like क्रि, स्थ, च्य is particularly hard for most people. Swarachakra makes it easy. First tap on the first part of the combination and select the halant from the chakra (स + ्). Swarachakra then shows a preview of all possible conjuncts that begin with that consonant (स + ् + त = स्त; स + ् + थ = स्थ etc.). If you need to add a matra, select it from the new chakra like earlier (स्था, स्थि, स्थी, स्थु, स्थू...).
To type a rafar (र्थ), a rashtrachinha (ट्र) or the eyelash ra (-य, -ह), first select the corresponding key from the right-most bottom keys, and then type as usual.
Complete vowels (अ, आ, इ, ई, उ, ऊ, ए, ऐ, ओ, औ) appear in a separate chakra on the bottom right. The less used vowels and matras are next to it (ऽ, ऑ, ृ, ऋ, ॄ, ॠ, ॆ, ॊ, ॅ, ॉ,). Numerals, symbols and rarely used characters appear on a shift. You could also switch to the QWERTY keypad temporarily to input English characters.

Installing Swarachakra
First, install Swarachakra Konkani by clicking the “Install” button above.
Next, you need to “enable” the keyboard. To enable, open “Settings”, select “Language and Input” and check the box in front of स्वरचक्र कोंकणी (Swarachakra Konkani) in the “Keyboard and input methods” section.
Finally, click on the “Default” option in the “Keyboard and input methods” section, and select स्वरचक्र कोंकणी (Swarachakra Konkani) as the default keyboard. (Sorry, but that’s how Android works)
NOTE: Swarachakra is designed for Android 4.0 (ICS) onwards. It does not work right now on older versions because they do not have Unicode support.

Nice to see so comfy Konkani keyboard... Just a small suggestion, since in Konkani we extensively use anuswar like नें, णें, लों, मों (Konkani being highly nasal language) along with the separate feature for anuswar the same came also be tried to be accomodated in the swarchakra.... That way it will be very simple to write konkani

1) Covers two third of my screen. 2) suggestions of spelling do not appear automatically to select. 3) No enter button on keyboard. 4) Caps do not appear on long press 5) बाराखडी interface very good. 6) can also have other devnagri scripts options. 7) Suggestion to start the whole क ख ग घ ङ in one button and branch out from there will save keyboard coverage area.
