Sivudesa Made for Sri Lankans ------------------------- Sivudesa is your go-to mobile solution, offering a range of tools to keep you connected, informed, and productive. Key Features: ** Sinhala Keyboard: Seamlessly type in Sinhala with our user-friendly custom keyboard, designed for fast and accurate input, featuring the two best Sinhala typing layouts available in the App Store. ** Sri Lankan Calendar & Diary: Manage your schedule, set reminders, and easily track important events. ** Notebook: Jot down ideas, to-do lists, or anything important with our easy-to-use note-taking feature. ** Dictionary: English to Sinhala dictionary. Sinhala Keyboard --------------- *** Enhanced Wijesekara layout *** The Wijesekara layout in the Sinhala keyboard is an enhanced & highly optimised version of the traditional Wijesekara layout. We have focused on designing a `user-friendly` and `easier to use` Wijesekara layout, and our Wijesekara layout will maximize & simplify your Sinhala typing experience with much fewer typing errors. ‣ type `pilla` twice to get the longer `pilla` (no need to use the shift button to move to the shifted layout) ‣ long press for `Murdhaja` letter ‣ tap & hold the space bar to move the cursor ‣ auto-remove partial vowels or letters *** Enhanced Singlish layout *** Singlish is a transliteration layout for people who like to type Sinhala with equivalent English letter sounds. This is the most popular layout on our keyboard with a superior Sinhala typing experience. This layout is much easier and faster to use, and anyone can type without any prior experience. We have optimised and enhanced the performance of this layout with a completely redesigned Unicode rendering and a powerful text building engine. ‣ ability to type normal socially accepted phonetic sounds without memorising new & complicated key combinations. ‣ phonetic letter suggestion for faster typing [eg. D will suggest all the letters with sounds like D, DH, etc. - this is separate from word suggestions] ‣ letter + H for `Murdhaja` letters [eg. T & TH, P & PH etc] ‣ examples - ng, nd, etc for ganga, sandha - gna, kna, etc gnaanhaya, sinkno - bh, th, nh, etc thuupaaraamaya, bhaarathaya - quick quiz: can you read this `gnaanapaala`, that is how you write it on this keyboard *** English, Emoji & Symbol layouts **** Fully featured layouts for English, Emoji & Symbols *** Special features **** ‣ long-press on any key to change the cursor position ‣ smart Unicode rendering (insert valid full Unicode characters without dangling/partial vowel symbols) ‣ double-tap on the spacebar for the period (dot) symbol ‣ double-tap on the period (dot) key for the comma symbol ‣ double-tap on the `pilla` symbol to get `longer pills` (e.g., double-tap on Papilla to get Longer Papilla) *** Customizable themes *** ‣ Many pre-defined or fully customizable themes are completely free *** Advanced Features *** ‣ Sinhala speech-to-text in the base app (premium feature) - Unfortunately, we cannot integrate this module with the keyboard, due to Apple's restriction on microphone usage within the keyboard layouts. *** Privacy Policy *** User data belongs to the user; we will not collect, share, or sell any kind of data belonging to our users. *** Google Ads *** Our only source of income is showing ads on this app. We use Google Ads for advertising, and Google may ask you to enable user tracking for targeted ads.
