Apart from simply changing the keyboard language, Bangla Keyboard Lite facilitates a
smooth transition
between the Bengali language and other languages supported by your device. It works well with Indian language apps like
Google Indic Keyboard
or
Swarachakra Tamil Keyboard
.
Type in Bengali across all apps
With the Bangla Keyboard Lite installed, you can type in the
native Bangla or Bengali script
. Aside from the fact that it has a lot
more characters
compared to the 26 in the Roman alphabet, the formation of words also makes it slightly difficult to follow for non-native speakers. With that said, the app facilitates a smooth transition between languages, making it easy to use and deploy for devices.
In terms of setting it up, it only requires an internet connection when installing. Once the Bangla keyboard is installed, you can use it even when you’re
offline
. This makes it convenient, whether you’re online for social media or offline for traditional SMS. Also, like most keyboards, you can choose a
full QWERTY keyboard
layout or the standard
telephone key layout
.
Once installed, there’s no need to open the app, since you can access it through your phone settings. Still, it has a lot of
restrictions
as a free utility. For one, it works based on a scheme that
transliterates
Bangla or Bengali characters into their Latin counterparts. As such, expect a couple of gaps as you type in words. Still, it can be rectified although it requires additional checking.
Useful, reliable, and convenient
For speakers of the Bangla or Bengali language, Bangla Keyboard Lite is a useful utility even for non-technical users. It comes in a small file size and is
easy to install
for most devices. Additionally, it has a couple of features that further facilitate convenient use, such as making it easy to switch between languages. However, there are still
gaps in translating
between languages.
