We have a Android Keyboard, a working application. However, we know it needs more work and some more killer features. In that sense it's half-baked.
Lipee Keyboard ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.svayu.lipi ) is a keyboard for Indic scripts and languages that uses gestures to speed up typing by 100%. I am also my own prime user, typing various texts (messages, social media, etc.) in Indic scripts, so I can also vouch of its utility myself.
The first novelty is that it solely focuses on people who do NOT read/write English, but know their own mother tongue and script well. So, a native Kannada user (of Kannada script) or Bhojpuri person (of Devnagari script) are our prime targets.
The second novelty is that almost all Indic scripts add an extra line/symbol next to consonants, called "maatras" to create sound out of a consonant. Each sound has a unique maatra, for any consonant. We use gestures to add such a maatra to all consonants, which speeds up the keyboard typing hugely.
We know we can add more features and killer technologies to make typing in Indic scripts very smooth and fast.
We need more tech talent and support to make this happen, and I hope to on-board a CXO or a senior free-lancer for rapid development.
