Type Telugu words using English letters based on pronunciation. For example, 'ka' types 'క', 'tha' types 'త', and 'namaskaram' produces 'నమస్కారం'. The system follows standard Telugu romanization conventions used in academia and everyday communication.
Type a consonant followed by a vowel to create syllables. 'k' alone gives 'క్' (with halant), but 'ka' gives 'క', 'ki' gives 'కి', 'ku' gives 'కు'. This mirrors how Telugu script naturally combines consonants with vowel signs (matras) to form aksharas.
Use Shift for aspirated and retroflex consonants: 'K' for 'ఖ్' (Kha), 'G' for 'ఘ్' (Gha), 'B' for 'భ్' (Bha), 'N' for 'ణ్' (retroflex Na), 'L' for 'ళ్' (retroflex La). This distinguishes the aspirated sounds unique to Telugu from their unaspirated counterparts.
