A Guide to the Kannada/English Phonetic Virtual Keyboard

Welcome! This guide will walk you through all the features of our dual-language on-screen virtual keyboard, designed to make Kannada typing and English composition simple and intuitive. This keyboard uses a phonetic QWERTY layout, which means the Kannada keys are mapped to the sounds of their English counterparts (e.g., 'k' for 'ಕ'). This is a complete ಕನ್ನಡ ಕೀಬೋರ್ಡ್ (Kannada keyboard) solution for all your needs. If you're looking to type Kannada words using an English keyboard or write English words in Kannada, this is the ideal solution for you. This bilingual Kannada keyboard also provides translation for typed text between Kannada and English. Use Canarese/Kanarese keyboard on computer or mobile phone device.

Core Features

• Dual Phonetic Layouts: Seamlessly switch between a phonetic Kannada keyboard and a standard English QWERTY keyboard.

• English Sub-Labels: To make typing easier, each key on the Kannada keyboard displays the corresponding small English letter in the corner.

• Voice-to-Text: Use your microphone for hands-free dictation in both languages.

• Text Tools: A full suite of tools including Undo, Redo, Copy, and Translate are built right in.

• Rich Symbol Sets: Access a wide range of diacritics, currency symbols, and common technical symbols using the Shift and AltGr keys.

How to Use the Keyboard

Typing and Switching Languages

The keyboard defaults to the Kannada layout. Simply click or tap the keys to type. For example, pressing the 'k' key will type 'ಕ್' (the consonant form). To type the full letter 'ಕ', you would type 'k' followed by 'a'.

To switch between Kannada and English, click the Eng/ಕನ್ನಡ button. The keyboard layout, placeholder text, and text direction will update automatically.

Using Shift and Caps Lock

• Shift: Clicking the Shift key gives you access to a secondary layer of characters. In English mode, this produces uppercase letters. In Kannada mode, this reveals important vowel signs (matras) and other symbols. The Shift key deactivates after one use.

• Caps Lock: In English mode, click Caps Lock to type continuously in uppercase. The key will light up when active. Click it again to deactivate.

Special Characters: Shift and AltGr Keys

This phonetic keyboard is enhanced with powerful secondary layers for professional and daily use, making ಕನ್ನಡ ಟೈಪಿಂಗ್ (Kannada typing) easier.

The Shift Key Layer

When the Kannada keyboard is active, pressing the Shift key provides access to essential characters for proper writing.

  • Vowel Signs: Includes all the primary vowel signs (matras) such as ಾ (for ಆ), ಿ (for ಇ), ೀ (for ಈ), ು (for ಉ), ೂ (for ಊ), and ೇ (for ಏ).

  • Other Diacritics: Access important marks like the Virama ( ್ ) which is used to create consonant clusters, and the Anusvara (ಂ).

  • Full Vowels: The Shift layer also provides access to the full vowel characters like ಆ, ಈ, ಊ, etc.

• Currency Symbols:

  • Indian Rupee (₹)

  • Euro (€)

  • UK Pound (£)

The AltGr Key Layer

The AltGr key unlocks a third layer of symbols on both the Kannada and English keyboards, perfect for technical and professional writing.

• Common Symbols: © (Copyright), ® (Registered), ™ (Trademark), ° (Degree), ¶ (Paragraph), ± (Plus-Minus), † (Dagger), ‡ (Double Dagger), … (Ellipsis).

• Fractions: ¼, ½, ¾.

• Mathematical Symbols: × (multiplication), ÷ (division), ∞ (infinity), √ (square root).

• Greek Letters: Ω (Omega), α (alpha), β (beta), π (pi).

• International Currencies: ¥ (Yen), ₿ (Bitcoin), $ (Dollar), C$ (Canadian Dollar), A$ (Australian Dollar), ¢ (Cent).

• Miscellaneous: ↑ (Up Arrow), ↓ (Down Arrow), ✓ (Checkmark), ✗ (X Mark), ★ (Star), ♥ (Heart), ☰ (Trigram for Heaven).

Voice Typing and Other Tools

Voice Typing (Speech-to-Text)

1. Click the Microphone (🎤) button to start voice typing.

2. Your browser may ask for permission to use your microphone. Please click "Allow".

3. The status message will show "Listening..." Start speaking clearly in your selected language.

• Language Recognition: The speech-to-text engine is configured for specific dialects to improve accuracy.

  • Kannada Mode: Uses language code kn-IN for Indian Kannada.

  • English Mode: Uses language code en-IN for Indian English. If this is not supported, it will use en-US as a fallback.

Auto Punctuation

• The Auto Punct. button helps you end sentences quickly. When activated, it will automatically add the appropriate punctuation mark (a period . for English or a danda । for Kannada) and a space after you finish speaking with the voice typing feature.

• Note: if your microphone isn't working, please refer to this article for troubleshooting steps.

Other Tools

• Text Management: Use Undo, Redo, Copy, and Clear All to manage your text efficiently.

• Navigation: Use the arrow keys, Home, and End for precise cursor control.

• Emoji Keyboard (😀): Click the smiley face to access a full emoji panel for adding expressive characters to your text.

Translate Feature

The virtual keyboard features a handy Translate button that allows you to swiftly translate your typed text.

How it Works:

• Bilingual Text Translation: When the Kannada keyboard is active, clicking the “Translate” button will convert text from Kannada to English. Conversely, when the English keyboard is active, clicking “Translate” will convert text from English to Kannada, using Google Translate.

• Steps:

  1. Type or voice-type any text into the main text area.

  2. Click or tap the Translate button.

  3. If the text area is empty, a temporary message "Type text first!" will appear, and no new tab will open.

  4. If there is text in the text area, a new browser tab will automatically open, redirecting you to Google Translate.

  5. Your typed text will be pre-filled into Google Translate's input field.

  6. Google Translate will automatically detect the source language of your text.

  7. The translation will be displayed in the automatically selected target language (English if Kannada keyboard was active, Kannada if English keyboard was active).

Important Note for Mobile Users:

On mobile devices with the Google Translate app, clicking "Translate" might open the installed app instead of the web page, and it may not pre-fill your text. To work around this, click "Copy" first to save your text, then "Translate," and paste it in the app.

Physical Keyboard Synchronization

This virtual keyboard will synchronize with your physical keyboard. If you use the Shift or Caps Lock keys on your physical keyboard, the characters on the virtual keyboard will change accordingly. When you press an English letter on your physical keyboard, it will be converted into a Kannada character when using the Kannada virtual keyboard.

Responsive Design

This virtual keyboard is designed to adapt to various screen sizes:

• Desktop: You will see the full keyboard layout with all keys and labels. If your computer or laptop's physical keyboard isn't working, you can search for "Kannada Online Keyboard Dozro" using a search engine and use it to type with your mouse or touch.

• Tablet: The layout will adjust slightly, and some English labels on Kannada keys might be hidden to save space.

• Mobile: The layout becomes more compact, and some less-used keys (like Tab, Ctrl, Alt) are hidden to optimize for touch input. The action row and cursor row are also rearranged for better usability on smaller screens.

We hope this guide helps you make the most of your Kannada/English Virtual Keyboard!
