Phonetic typing, explained
Phonetic (transliteration) typing lets you write any Indian language with an English keyboard. You type how a word sounds, and the tool suggests the word in the native script. It is the fastest way to write if you have never learned an Indian-language keyboard layout, and it is how most people type Indian languages on phones today.
For typing exams, phonetic typing is not allowed; exams use fixed layouts like Inscript. See the Hindi typing test and Marathi typing test.
