How to type.
Look for the character and indicate it. If you do not find the character, press the Next for more predicted characters.

For ottakshara, put the Halant/Virama, shown in red in between the consonants.

These are all according to standard Unicode rules for digital input of Kannada but you have to grow familiar.

Here are few examples.

Note that the matra (a dependent vowel is always entered after the consonant even though it may be actually occuring on top or after in form). That is merely typography, not orthography.

Each character type, swar varna, vyanjan varna, matra, special symbols are shown in different colours in the Panini Keypad for your assistance and also learning.

The Panini Keypad is a predictive technology so it will assist you to write words within and outside the dictionary, its based on linguistics and it is at the next level from what you are familiar with, yes globally.

This Kannada product was made with bias for both the forms of Kannada as written in India and the world. :)

Hope that was enough if you tried each of them. The Panini Keypad will assist you with the accurate predictions along the way. Space twice for a fullstop.

Have the patience to learn and very soon you will be typing faster in Kannada than you write in English on your phone.

The Ergonomic mode is for your thumbing and Nearest Key mode more appropriate for using when using your finger.

This is a new paradigm on how non latin languages are efficiently supported on digital devices and this has been developed for every language of India and the world. Its a breakthrough. Keep the faith and spread the word!
