Get Obadh

  • Speed

    Keeps up with you

    A word is ready in about three microseconds, on a new phone or an old one.

  • Accuracy

    Gets the spelling right

    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

Your spelling comes up first, the correction beside it. Nothing changes under your fingers.

It learns your words

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

Emoji, from the word itself

Type the word and the emoji for it comes up in the strip. Taking it replaces the word, because the word was the search.

It all runs on the device

Composing, corrections and suggestions happen where you are typing. Airplane mode changes nothing.

From Avro

Nothing new to learn

Avro made typing Bangla ordinary. Obadh keeps its scheme exactly. What is new is underneath.
