Swarachakra

Swarachakra (Devanagari: स्वरचक्र) is a free text input application developed by the IDIN group at Industrial Design Center (IDC), Indian Institute of Technology Bombay for Indic scripts.

Although smartphone penetration is increasing in India, text input in Indic scripts has been a challenge for many years.

Further, it clubs unrelated characters on same key such as म ण, ह ङ, ऍ १, र ३, ज्ञ ५, त्र ६, क्ष ७, श्र.

[citation needed] Researchers at IDC have been working on alternatives to QWERTY-based keyboards for Indic text input since 2001.

Earlier projects included the design of hardware devices such as Dynakey, Barakhadi, Keylekh[4] and e-Lekh.
