How English to Kannada typing works

This is transliteration: you spell Kannada words with the English alphabet and Bhasini writes the same sounds in Kannada. It does not translate English words into Kannada. Type namaskAra, not "hello".

Each word is redrawn on every key, so combinations like kh, aa and ksh form the right letter automatically.
