Uboard — A Universal Keyboard

‘Uboard’— A Universal Keyboard is an innovative application developed to support a wide range of languages, scripts, and keyboard layouts, including Bengali and various indigenous languages. This advanced tool facilitates accurate and efficient text input on Android devices, enabling users to seamlessly compose text in languages such as Bengali, Santali, Marma, Mru, Chakma, Arabic, and others. Additionally, the application allows users to define custom keyboard layouts, promoting linguistic inclusivity and enhancing the digital accessibility of lesser-known languages.
