This is a
simple Malayalam Keyboard.
No typing
skill is required. Normally we type
with our fingers
on
keyboard. But, in this Malayalam
keyboard we type with mouse.
Click once
on the character key, that particular character is
formed in
the message box at bottom of the keyboard. Initially, the
user will
feel it very slow. But, speed can be
gained by regular
use. For any keyboard, practicing is a must. But, in case of
this
keyboard, no practicing is required.
The only thing is that,
one should
become familiar with the location of the character.
