Thai PaniniKeypad

This App allows you to type in Thai on your iPhone/iPad in a new way that offers next characters automatically to your fingertips.

The new technology only recenly developed is based on statistical nature of languages, linguistics and AI. And has won many awards all over the world.

It has been developed for the Thai language only in July 2011.

It is named Panini Keypad after an ancient Sanskrit grammarian who lived in India 2500 years ago.

The Thai script has over 60 characters in popular use. Instead of putting all of them on the screen, the Panini Keypad puts only the 11 characters that you are most likely to type. They are large, easy to spot and point.

At first these are characters that are statistically most likely to start a Thai word. If the character you want is not on the screen use the Next button till you get it.

You will get better results if you put a space between two words.

After you have entered a character, the system starts predicting characters you are likely to write next. This goes on in a chain and most often it would predict correctly, if not, use the Next button.

The words will start forming for you magically and characters will occur on your fingertips.

But the beauty is also that it works for words within and outside the dictionary because this is a dictionaryless technology which is based on linguistics.

Go ahead, try it. It is mindboggling!


You can send messages, emails in Thai which will travel to any phone anywhere in the world in Unicode and display if the font is present. You can also copy paste to FB and twitter.

The Ergonomic Mode is meant for your thumbing and the Nearest key mode most suitable when you are using your finger.

Go ahead and faith will come to you - Descartes.
