Truth is the root of glory. Truth is the reason for trust. Truth is the gateway to heaven. Truth is indeed the ladder of success. - Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

For users seeking to type in Gujarati, the functionality of your device in displaying this sentence accurately is a testament to its compatibility with the Gujarati script, which is essential for utilizing Swarachakra effectively. Conversely, if the text displays incorrectly, it may indicate that Swarachakra might not function optimally on your device.

Swarachakra Gujarati (સ્વરચક્ર ગુજરાતી) serves as a touch-screen keyboard designed specifically for inputting text in Gujarati, and it is also available in languages including Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Punjabi, Bengali, Konkani, and Tamil. The keyboard boasts a logically structured layout that corresponds to the Gujarati script, offering a user-friendly interface for efficient typing.

Typing with Swarachakra

The typing process in Gujarati often involves combining consonants and matras. For instance, when typing ધ + ો, the resulting character is ધો. Upon selecting a consonant, a chakra displaying various consonant combinations alongside ten commonly used matras appears. This feature allows users to preview and select from potential character combinations by sliding their finger or stylus accordingly.

Typing conjuncts such as ક્રિ, સ્થ, or લ્ય can pose challenges for many users; however, Swarachakra significantly simplifies this task. Users tap on the initial component of the conjunct followed by selecting the halant from the chakra (સ + ્). Subsequently, Swarachakra provides a preview of all possible conjuncts starting with that consonant.

To type complex characters like ાથ, users simply select from the right-most bottom keys followed by continuing their usual typing method. Complete vowels are conveniently located in a separate chakra on the bottom right of the interface, while less frequently used vowels and matras are adjacent.

Installing Swarachakra

The installation process for Swarachakra Gujarati involves clicking the "Install" button. Following installation, users must enable the keyboard by accessing "Settings," selecting "Language and Input," and checking the appropriate box next to સ્વરચક્ર ગુજરતી. Finally, it's necessary to set Swarachakra as the default keyboard within the same settings section.

Please note: Swarachakra is specifically designed for devices operating on Android 4.0 (ICS) or newer versions due to its reliance on Unicode support. Compatibility issues may arise with older Android versions.
