About this app

An input method editor (on-screen keyboard) that enables entering of text in Devanagari, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam scripts. Users can choose from either InScript or 3x4 keyboard layout. In addition, KaGaPa layout for Kannada and TamilNet99 layout for Tamil are also supported.

This app adds keyboards only and doesn't add any font or rendering engine for displaying indic text. Hence install this app only if your phone/tablet already supports indic text. If your phone properly displays the below indic text, then it has the required indic fonts and rendering engine. However, if you see boxes or disjoint characters then it doesn't.
