Useful Free Android Applications – Hindi Keyboards

Sometimes there is requirement for typing in Hindi like sending SMS or posting on facebook.  Existing built-in keyboard in Android does not support Hindi language. But there are few keyboards in Android market which are very good for typing in Hindi.

Sparsh Indian Keyboard –

This is very good keyboard for Hindi as I am using this myself. I don’t know why this is not much popular because this allows to type in Hindi very fast. When we click on any Hindi alphabet a pop up menu shows up to select from all available options for that alphabet. They have support for other Indian languages like Tamil and Kannada.

This is also very good keyboard for Hindi typing. This was my default Hindi keyboard before I came to know about Sparsh. This keyboard is available for a lot of Indian languages like Tamil, Marathi and Malayalam.
