Type Bengali with Avro Keyboard

In Bangladesh the most used software for Bangla typing is Bijoy. But this is not a free software. So most of the users use the pirated version of Bijoy and certainly this is against law. And Bijoy 2003 doesn't work with the Windows Vista, 7 or 8. 

But there is a alternative software. And day by day it is being popular for Bangla typing. Ya, I am talking about Avro Keyboard. 



Avro users might get the following facilities:

  • Freeware (Open Source)
  • Small in size (10/11 MB)
  • Only F12 can be used to switc between Bangla & English
  • Unicode Fonts
  • Different keyboard layouts 
  • Useful to write in the web
  • Phonetic keyboard (English to Bangla)
  • Bangla Spell Checker
  • Fast and reliable
  • Portable Version is also available
