## Description

KeyNounce is the easiest way to type in Punjabi using just the English keyboard. KeyNounce uses a technique called "transliteration" that enables you to type the Punjabi pronunciation in English, instantly giving you back the word written in Punjabi.

For example, typing "namaskar" will  be converted into the Punjabi letters right as you type! It’s simple, fast and super accurate. You don’t need to worry about typing in the exact English spelling for an Punjabi word, KeyNounce is smart enough to accept many input spellings for the same output word.

If you can write, or read Punjabi, but aren’t used to typing using the Punjabi keyboard, KeyNounce is the perfect solution for you.

KeyNounce works in any app! Once you enable the keyboard you’ll be able to easily compose texts, emails, tweets, facebook posts, and search the web in Punjabi.

The tool is especially valued for helping communicate with Punjabi-speaking family members and for usability when you don’t know the spelling of words.
