We are delighted to be in a position to distribute Aboriginal language keyboard solutions to our clients. The local Saanich tribe will be the first to benefit ... You can be sure that your invention will be a wonderful enabling tool for a host of new Indigenous communities via their connections to First Peoples' Cultural Foundation.
Peter Brand - First Peoples' Cultural Foundation, British Columbia

Jack Viperwolf (Android review) - November 2025
The availability of this App is excellent. It gives access to all those interested. It is quite easy to learn and use it. I am Rev. Musa J. Jambawai, Methodist Church Sierra Leone, a registered user of Keyman. But I lost my product key. With this App, I have Keyman again.
Rev. Musa JAMBAWAI (Android review) - October 2025

Tlerayun Y (Android review) - April 2025
So happy
Thanks a lot, I was unable to find a Tibetan Keyboard. But thanks to you, it’s now possible. It means a lot to me. =D
Guelek (iOS review) - April 2025
(Written in Hindi): Bahut accha app hai bahut dino se dundh rha tha ki mai kab gondi languages me chat kru bat kru. (Translated): This is a very good app. I was searching for a long time when I would be able to chat in Gondi language.
Ajay Kumar (Android review) - January 2025
Lots of keyboard varieties in lots of languages. Very useful for an omniglot or a polyglot such as myself. And as always expect more and more newer and newer keyboards.
Swarnadip Mitra (Android review) - January 2025
I’m especially grateful for the hint feature, Start of Sentence detection, and the predictive text feature. These things make life very easy, and Keyman itself is a lifesaver for minority languages. Thanks for giving power to speakers of these languages.
katelem - August 2024
💕💞💕Thank you very much for being able to write your Gondi script so well. Jai Johar 💐💐🌺💐🌺
Koya Hm (Android review) - August 2024
Written in Chinese (Traditional): 很好，可以使我在手機上輸入我根據越南語所創製的湛江白話羅馬字~ Translated: Great! It lets me input the Zhanjiang vernacular Romanization I created based on Vietnamese on my phone!
Sihng-yih Ngaang (Android review) - August 2024
Keyman is the preeminent tool for custom keyboards.
Absolutely stellar app and incredible functionality given the complexity of the human language spectrum and variety of devices to support. I’ve reviewed a lot of options for keyboards and there’s not a better tool out there than Keyman.
DPC7325 (iOS review) - July 2023
I would earnestly like to thank you for the best multilingual keyboard, especially for us #Ethiopians using #Geez scripts. It’s simply excellent.
@HibamoA - July 2022
One of a kind
It took a lot of apps to find a full keyboard in desired language with all the letters on one page without the need of an Alt button. It’s easier to download and install than other apps that require you to program your own especially for someone who doesn’t have an idea how.
PKPhotopia (iOS review) - January 2022
@Keyman is the best and works efficiently with windows 10. Download the power geez keyboard and Amharic on too.
@fegabuti - June 2021
Such great software. Thanks for supporting those who need to enter text in 100’s of less-widely-supported languages.
@simoncaudwell - March 2021
Most people who develop in @keyman only use a fraction of its capabilities.
@enablelanguages - January 2021
Keyman, I installed it on my PC and can write [Egyptian] in quadratic form. You guys did an amazing job. Thanks!
L. Cavanagh - December 2020
Only Sanskrit keyboard on IOS
Been typing Sanskrit words in IOS with roman diacritics for years with Keyman. Congrats to developers for inventing and maintaining this app for all to use and profit.
MesmerX (iOS review) - November 2020
Woh good jop

yphak adrong (iOS review) - March 2020
had a blast at the @keyman 2020 Workshop last week, great lectures, great trainers, and great fun hanging out with keyboard enthusiasts -not to mention a great price! After years of day dreaming about it, I made a #Musnad: [keyman.com/keyboards/gff_musnad](https://keyman.com/keyboards/gff_musnad)
@ethiopic - March 2020
Thanks to @keyman, just finished a Taiwanese Pe̍h-ōe-jī keyboard for all platforms just the 3rd day of the 1-week workshop. Can't wait to publish it!
@ngoohebi - February 2020
... I would suggest to stick with keyman and I am sure you would love the experience.
I type #Amharic like a Pro on Keyman [winking face]
@MekonnenAkele - December 2019
@keyman, thank you for the Tamil keyboard. Loved how easy it is to type in Tamil.
@BlueLotusTrans - July 2019
If you need to develop keyboard inputs for your language @keyman is a great resource. Make keyboards for iOS, Android, Mac, & Windows! #ᏣᎳᎩ, Osage, Diné Bizaad, Lakota, & Cree Syllabics are just some of the Keyman keyboards.
@NativeLangsTech - May 2019
Note: in 2017, Keyman was acquired from Tavultesoft by SIL Global, and became
free and open source. Testimonials prior to this may reference
purchases.
You are an excellent partner with us and you excel in customer service. That is getting to be a rare quality in today's world and we greatly appreciate and value you as one of our best vendors.
Rusty Riggs - The Seed Company, March 2015
The support I received was fantastic. It was very quick, and I was able to be up and running again. Thank you for the excellent response!
Patrick Barber - East Point Church of Christ, Kansas - August 2012
The software works perfectly, and we've already translated a document into Tamil!
A Customer - IFMR, Tamil Nadu - June 2012
As a longtime customer... I'm very grateful. It's an excellent piece of software -- by far the easiest way I know of typing in Greek on a Windows system.
Mark Landon - June 2012
You resolved my problem. Many thanks! I know there are free things out there, but I thoroughly enjoy Tavultesoft and its ease of use.
Dr. Lee Fields - Mid-Atlantic Christian University - March 2012
Thank you very much for making my move to a new computer smooth… Absolutely not a penny wasted in purchasing your software.
Dawn Jacob - March 2012
Excellent piece of software! Really easy to use. Excellent range of third-party keyboards available.
Brian Hayes - November 2011
Good product and good service; who could ask for more?
Michael Nye - May 2011
Thank you once again… I've never yet experienced such helpful support from any kind of online provider.
Reuben Ramsey - University of Newcastle, Australia - December 2010
May I comment that this is excellent customer service, and I'm glad I purchased this product.
Anna Reeve - UK - August 2010
Using the Bookmarklet with the Amharic Keyboard. Works great in google chat.
Kitfo – Twitter – August 2010
I'm quite happy to see the launch of KeymanWeb. This new web service permits academics to use any input language on any computer in a university setting, even when they do not have access to administrative privileges needed to install the software on the computer.
A Customer - The University of Chicago - July 2010
Keymanweb virtual online keyboard is a winner.
Seumas Macdonald - Compliant Subversity blog - July 2010
The solution offered by you indeed is the best which is free, easy to use and readily accessible too. Congraulations and thank you.
Abdul-Majid Bhurgri - July 2010
I do most of my greek work on a Windows 7 operating system, running Keyman. It makes typing polytonic Greek a real breeze.
Seumas Macdonald - Compliant Subversity blog - July 2010
I'm glad we chose your software (it's popular in Sri Lanka I believe) which was worth every cent with all the support you gave us.
Yoshiko Abe - Kurunegala, Sri Lanka - January 2010
I thank you from my heart for your help and advice ... I am indebted for the ability to type in both Greek and Hebrew.
Dr. Robert R. Zweitzig - Faith Seminary, Maryland - September 2009
I think your company must be the most efficient and helpful ever!
Anne - August 2009
Tavultesoft offers very good support. Initial difficulties were solved easily and efficiently by Mr. Peirce Baehr.
Dr Ory Amitay - Mt Carmel-Haifa University - May 2009
In my opinion your KeymanWeb is the best online keyboard tool. I strongly support such good products.
Fabio - El Galepin - March 2009
In the language lab we use Tavultesoft Keyman with the Heidelberg Solution input (fully phonetic for Devanagari and transliteration) on Win XP. Everyone I've shown this to has taken it up quickly, without a lot of instruction, and have liked it a lot. The keyboard mapping and documentation are particularly good.
Jose Rodriguez - Emory College, Georgia - January 2009
I have just launched a web site that promotes the Amharic language through the use of "creative writings" ... Thank you for producing a quality software.
Toto Adefris (ቶቶ አደፍርስ) The Very Best of Toto - December 2009
Thank you for this fascinating programme. I am enjoying the ability to type instead of hand writing phonetic characters.
Margaret Gleeson - Victoria University of Wellington
I only wish I had discovered Keyman sooner. For typing Polytonic Greek, I know of no better solution for the Windows Operating System than Keyman (and I've tried a handful of solutions). Where Windows has fallen remarkably short, Keyman has picked up the slack. I recommend the software to anyone and everyone who needs to integrate Greek scripting into their written prose.
A Customer - The University of Chicago - April 2008
We do a great deal of editorial work involving Greek and Hebrew and the Tavultesoft software has been extremely useful. Many thanks for your prompt and helpful response.
Peter Cooper - Alexander Street Press
I must admit you are doing a great service to linguistic community in developing this type of software which is essential for developing Keyboards and language-specific software by this. I had written to someone who has a master's degree in computer application (MCA), was full of praise of this software. He was not aware of it, and added that it is a wonderful tool. I have no knowledge of computer systems intricacies. I believe in the same way: it is wonderful. I wish Marc and his associates a grand success for developing software like this.
