BaybayinPlus Keyboard

About BaybayinPlus Keyboard

This app is a translator that comes with a BaybayinPlus keyboard. So this allows you to type in text through a Baybayin keyboard and copy and paste your text to other apps. The keyboard is a semi-traditional Baybayin characters and not the modern alphabet (as of this version).

I intentionally made it like this to let the early learners understand how our own words were shaped without the need of all modern day consonants and vowels.

On top of that, after the keyboard app is properly added in your settings, you can now use Baybayin keyboard in all apps that allow third party keyboard. That means you can have a chat in Baybayin, type a Facebook post in Baybayin, tweet in Baybayin, and more.

So enjoy and let us continue to spread awareness of our own writing scripts and be proud of our heritage! Mabuhay
