Akshar is the best way to type and speak in Indian languages right from your keyboard.

Powered by on-device AI, with no ads and end-to-end encrypted iCloud sync, everything you type and say stays fast, private, and always with you.

Hindi, Bangla, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Urdu, Odia, Malayalam, Punjabi, Assamese, Maithili, Kashmiri, Nepali, Sindhi, Konkani, Meitei (Manipuri), Bodo, Sanskrit, Sinhala, Dogri, and Santali.

WHY AKSHAR?
India is multilingual by nature. Akshar is built for that. All 23 languages in one refined keyboard, and your voice in 22 of them. No ads, no clutter, no servers reading your words or hearing your voice.
HOW IT WORKS
- Add Akshar’s Indic keyboard in Settings > Apps > Akshar, then hold the globe button in any app to switch to it.
- Select your language from the keyboard toolbar, type in English, and tap a suggestion or press space to accept.
- To dictate, open Akshar, tap Set Up Dictation. Then tap the mic key on the keyboard in any app, or in Notes.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
- On-device models running on Apple Core AI.
- Transliteration by AI4Bharat’s IndicXlit and dictation by AI4Bharat’s IndicConformer, both developed at IIT Madras.
- Built with SwiftUI, following Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines.
Every language has a voice. Akshar helps you type yours.
Made with love for the Indian language community.
Learnt about the integrated keyboard just recently and it works flawlessly. Such a simple case but the execution to fulfill it is great! Previously, the way to go was type in English -> Google translate -> copy translated Indic text. But now everything happens with good accuracy right where you want it. Kudos :)
