Tigrinya keyboard — frequently asked questions
Do I need a Tigrinya keyboard to use Gezana?
No. That's the whole point. Type "selam kemey aleka" in Latin letters and Gezana reads it as ሰላም ከመይ ኣለኻ. You can mix English, Tigrinya, and other languages in the same message.
Does Gezana also support a real Ge'ez keyboard?
Yes. If you already type in ፊደል, Gezana handles it natively. Use whatever's faster for you.
