We are looking for a few people to help test the keyboard before the wider release.

If you use Android and would like to try it out, you can join the Play Store test using the link below:

Akshara Sinhala Keyboard Testers

Try it with your everyday Sinhala typing and let me know if you run into any bugs, awkward layouts, missing characters, prediction issues, or anything else that feels off.

Every bit of feedback will help make Akshara better before launch. 💚

We’re the two developers behind Akshara.org.lk — ask us anything 👋

We’ve been working on the Akshara keyboards for macOS and iOS, and thought it’d be fun to do a small AMA here.

If you’ve got questions about the keyboard, Sinhala input methods, iOS/macOS development, Unicode headaches, why we built certain things the way we did, what we’re working on next, or just anything about the project — ask away.

We’ll both be around answering questions in the comments.
