  • Speed

    Keeps up with you

    Bangla appears as you type, with transliteration running on your device.

    Corrections come from 845,461 Bangla words, and the English ones people mix in.

  • Native

    Works like your device

    The same keys and gestures your device already uses. Nothing new to learn.

  • Free

    Free, and open source

    Free to use, and MIT licensed, so anyone can read the code or build on it.

What it is like

Less to think about while you type.

You keep the last say

Both spellings sit in the strip, and taking either is one tap.

It learns your words

Names, slang and brands are remembered on the device, and nowhere else.

Emoji, from the word itself

Type a word, and its emoji appears in the suggestion strip.

It all runs on the device

Composing, corrections and suggestions all work offline.

From Avro

Familiar phonetic typing

Avro’s line, ভাষা হোক উন্মুক্ত, with one word written into it to make Obadh’s: ভাষা হোক আরও উন্মুক্ত.

Avro made typing Bangla ordinary. Obadh builds on phonetic typing with its own engine and a documented scheme.
