Keyboards
Tibetan Unicode Direct Input
Tibetan Unicode Direct Input is designed to type all Tibetan characters and stacks directly. You get a Tibetan character every time you press a key, without having to use the Alt key or remember complex transliteration combinations. The keyboard types in a phonetic style based on the English (QWERTY) layout. This keyboard also features special menus for Tibetan symbols and lets you type Latin and Cyrillic letters.
Tibetan Unicode EWTS
Tibetan Unicode EWTS is based on the Extended Wylie Transliteration Scheme (EWTS), an approach to typing Tibetan which avoids most Shift, Alt, and Alt+Shift combinations. Tibetan characters are created from EWTS -transliteration each time you type a vowel or a Space (tsheg). Special rules apply for long-stacks. This keyboard also features special menus for Tibetan symbols and lets you type Latin and Cyrillic letters.
Dzongkha (SIL)
The Dzongkha keyboard is designed for the Tibetan-script Dzongkha language of Bhutan. The keyboard follows the current (October 2009) official Dzongkha layout approved by the Department of Information Technology and Dzongkha Development Authority of the Government of Bhutan.
