A good tool to type in Devanagari - both online and offline
Cons
It has some problems in typing ? related combined characters especially if it is the first letter of a sentence. Except this de-merit everything else is fine.
Summary
It has some problems in typing ? related combined characters especially if it is the first letter of a sentence. Except this de-merit everything else is fine. (Work around is to type some letter, then the combined Sa and then delete the first typed letter). Since I wanted a good tool to type in unicode using Inscript keyboard, especially while using google docs, I found this tool very useful.
Very useful

I do not know what is this Publicsoft India company. By Public soft it looks like some open source group, but I could not get any reference of what it is.<p>But it is for sure they are making fool of janta(Public).<p>First, do you really need any software to type Hindi?<p>No<p>kaulonline [dot] com/uninagari/<p>This place which gives you the complete thing, which this software claims to give.<p>There is no need to download anything, if you wish to use it offline just save this page on your computer as html file from your browser. May be this tool is from an individual and does not have any marketing backup, it is unknown.<p>After using café it looked as if it is using the same technology at some places, but Café Hindi does not match this tool in any form.<p>For Inscript<p>kaulonline [dot] kaulonline.com/uninagari/inscript.htm<p>For Remington<p>kaulonline [dot] kaulonline.com/uninagari/remington.htm<p>For Shusha<p>kaulonline [dot] kaulonline.com/uninagari/shusha.htm<p>For Gurmukhi<p>kaulonline [dot] kaulonline.com/uninagari/gurumukhi.htm<p>Hindi user is not demanding, what ever they get they are satisfied, so such softwares survive.<p>If you use xp you can type in hindi without anything.
