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.[1] Swarachakra's alphabetical keyboard layout performed better than the Inscript layout (a QWERTY-based design and government standard in India). Currently, it is available for Android devices[2][3] in twelve languages.
Work on other languages is in progress. This is one of the many projects taken up to develop interactive products for developing countries at IDC.
