How do I use this Sanskrit keyboard?
Type Sanskrit the way it sounds, using Latin letters, and it is written in Devanagari as you type. For example namaste gives नमस्ते, aham gives अहम् and bhagavaan gives भगवान्. A consonant at the end of a word gets its virama (्) automatically. You can also click or tap the letters on the on-screen keyboard.
