Malayalam Keyboard for Windows 95/98/2000/ME

 

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.
