Sinhala Keyboard
---------------

*** Enhanced Wijesekara layout ***

The Wijesekara layout in the Sinhala keyboard is an enhanced & highly optimized version of the traditional Wijesekara layout. We have focused on designing a `user-friendly` and `easier to use` Wijesekara layout, and our Wijesekara layout will maximize & simplify your Sinhala typing experience with much fewer typing errors.
‣ type `pilla` twice to get the longer `pilla` (no need to use the shift button to move to the shifted layout)
‣ long press for `Murdhaja` letter
‣ tap & hold the space bar to move the cursor
‣ auto-remove partial vowels or letters

*** Enhanced Singlish layout ***

Singlish is a transliteration layout for people who like to type Sinhala with equivalent English letter sounds. This is the most popular layout on our keyboard with a superior Sinhala typing experience. This layout is much easier and faster to use, and anyone can type without any prior experience.
We have optimized and enhanced the performance of this layout with a completely redesigned Unicode rendering and a powerful text building engine.
‣ ability to type normal socially accepted phonetic sounds without memorizing new & complicated key combinations.
‣ phonetic letter suggestion for faster typing [eg. D will suggest all the letters with sounds like D, DH, etc - this is separate from word suggestions]
‣ letter + H for `Murdhaja` letters [eg. T & TH, P & PH etc]
‣ examples
- ng, nd, etc for ganga, sandha
- gna, kna, etc gnaanhaya, sinkno
- bh, th, nh, etc thuupaaraamaya, bhaarathaya
- quick quiz: can you read this `gnaanapaala`, that is how you write it on this keyboard

*** English, Emoji & Symbol layouts ****
Fully featured layouts for English, Emoji & Symbols

*** Special features ****
‣ long-press on any key to change the cursor position
‣ smart Unicode rendering (insert valid full Unicode characters without dangling/partial vowel symbols)
‣ double-tap on the spacebar for the period (dot) symbol
‣ double-tap on the period (dot) key for the comma symbol
‣ double-tap on the `pilla` symbol to get `longer pills` (e.g., double-tap on Papilla to get Longer Papilla)

*** Customizable themes ***
‣ Many pre-defined or fully customizable themes are completely free 

*** Advanced Features ***
‣ Sinhala speech-to-text in the base app (premium feature)
- Unfortunately, we cannot integrate this module with the keyboard, due to Apple's restriction on microphone usage within the keyboard layouts.

*** Privacy Policy ***
User data belongs to the user; we will not collect, share, or sell any kind of data belonging to our users.

*** Google Ads ***
Our only source of income is showing ads on this app. We use Google Ads for advertising, and Google may ask you to enable user tracking for targeted ads.

## Sivudesa Reviews in Sri Lanka

### ***** "Very easy to used."
No extra options but it’s do what keyboard app need to do. Simply amazing work. This app really helpful.
-- lakmal_c, 2025-08-25

### ***** "GK"
fantastic very easy to use
-- AKIRA YATAWARA, 2025-05-16

### ***** "Great Keyboard!"
Thanks for the app! It’s the best of the similar apps I’ve tried. 

When using the Singlish keyboard, is there a way to type “ලං” as in “ලංකාව” ?
I tried LANG but it does not work.
-- ShiranC, 2024-06-06

### ***-- "Keeps on crashing after 1month subscription"
The program keeps on crashing when subscribs for one month. Please fix.
-- D!D, 2023-10-19

### *---- "Everything comes asking a price to upgrade"
:(
-- Malee94, 2023-09-03

### ***** "Amazing"
Wow! This feels like the original Apple keyboard with Sinhala typing. I must try the Pro version.
-- Jayashan_b, 2023-07-06

### *---- "Working not good"

huththe key board
-- හුත්තා, 2022-06-26

### ****- "Suggestion"
The latest update has moved the dot key to left side. It’s bit hard for left handers when touching the space bar. Has go way more to right side of the screen. The space is used more than the dot. Hence the space must be easily accessible.
When typing quickly, chances to type dot instead of space happens more frequently to the left handed people.
For better user experience to all and better accessibility without discrimination I suggest to think of reverting the dot key placement.
-- Nipuna S Perera, 2021-09-26

### ***** "Best"
Excellent keyboard
-- Dyfj, 2021-08-25

### *---- "Please roll back to the previous version"
Please roll back to the previous version. The new update is extremely user unfriendly. It was way better before. And I will give five stars back......
-- Prashaned, 2021-08-24
