How English to Sanskrit typing works

This is transliteration: you spell Sanskrit words with the English alphabet and Bhasini writes the same sounds in Devanagari. It does not translate English words into Sanskrit. Type namaH, not "salutation".

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