How to choose your keyboard

Start from the language, not the script: Syriac Keyboard and Inuktitut Keyboard may look related, but letter inventories, transliteration habits and dictionary resources differ. Open the two candidates and type the same greeting in both — the engine that guesses your words correctly is the right one.

This family mixes writing directions: Syriac Keyboard run right to left, the others left to right. The editor switches automatically per keyboard.

Transliteration mode exists on 1 of the 5 keyboards here: type the Latin transcription and the engine converts. On the others, click the virtual keys directly — each page documents its mode in the step-by-step guide, and the comparison table above tells you which is which before you open anything.

On mobile the choice matters even more: full-size touch keys and the same transliteration engines run on phones, so test your greeting on the device you will actually type on. Bookmark the winner — every keyboard page works offline once loaded and keeps your text private in the browser.
