Amader Bangla Keyboard 0.11.0
A Windows phonetic Bangla keyboard (TSF input method). Type romanized Bangla in
any app; switch with Win+Space. Now available on winget:
winget install Amerganim.AmaderBanglaKeyboard.
New in 0.11.0
- Smart juktakkhor — consonants now join into a conjunct only when they form
a real juktakkhor, sozkhn→ যখন (not য্খ্ন), while every conjunct still
works. Pronunciation spellings:biggan→ বিজ্ঞান,onchol→ অঞ্চল. - Forgiving suggestions — ambiguous spellings still find the right word
(nodi→ নদী,akas→ আকাশ,math→ মাঠ); exact spellings rank first. c→ চ, and uppercase letters no longer leak English (C→ চ).
Highlights
- Phonetic engine: vowels/kar, conjuncts (juktakkhor), anusvara, chandrabindu,
visarga, dari, khanda-ta, ref/ya-phala, ya/ja distinction, bo-phola, digits. - Live underlined composition; Space/Enter commit; Backspace edits.
- Bangla/English toggle (Ctrl+Shift+B) + language-bar button.
- Word suggestions: curated dictionary + ~65k-word completion (Google bn
lexicon, CC BY 4.0) that learns your choices. - Built-in typing guide (Start Menu + language-bar menu).
- x64 + x86 + ARM64 binaries; architecture-aware installer.
