UBoard
Universal Keyboard for You
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Type Bangla and the languages of Bangladesh in every app: Jatiya, Avro and Khipro for Bangla, Chakma, Marma, Sylheti and more. Speak Bangla and it types.
UBoard is a keyboard for Bangla and the other languages of Bangladesh, made by Bangladesh Computer Council. Type in your mother tongue in every app, and design your own layout key by key.
BANGLA, THREE WAYS
• Jatiya, the national standard layout
• Avro Phonetic: type Bangla in roman letters, ami gives আমি
• Khipro, with its official typing rules
Conjuncts and vowel signs come out right, and suggestions from a Bangla word list of over 44,000 words appear above the keys as you type.
THE LANGUAGES OF BANGLADESH
Layouts for Chakma, Marma, Mro, Santali, Mahale, Malto and Sylheti, each with its own script, digits and long-press letters, and English. Turn on the layouts you use and swipe the space bar to switch between them.
DESIGN YOUR OWN LAYOUT
Start from any layout and put any letter on any key in the visual editor: Shift letters, long-press letters and the number row. Find any character by name. Share your layout as a .uboard file; the same files work in UBoard for Android.
VOICE TYPING IN BANGLA
Tap the microphone on the toolbar and speak Bangla. UBoard types your words as you go, using Kotha, the Bangla speech-to-text service of Bangladesh Computer Council. Voice typing needs an internet connection and Allow Full Access.
THEMES FROM BANGLADESH
Classic, and four illustrated themes: Nakshi Kantha, Jamdani, Borsha and Pohela Boishakh, each in light and dark.
MADE FOR EVERYDAY TYPING
• Key preview and long-press letters, with hints on the keys
• Swipe the space bar to move the cursor; swipe from Delete to delete whole words
• A toolbar for the clipboard, paste, copy and moving the cursor
• Clipboard history and one-handed mode
• Backup and restore of your settings and layouts
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
UBoard does not collect what you type and does not send it anywhere. It has no accounts, no ads and no analytics. Typing works fully without Allow Full Access; only voice typing, the clipboard and vibration need it. The only thing that ever leaves your phone is your voice while you use voice typing.
Layouts for the community languages are reviewed with native speakers; if a letter is missing or in the wrong place, tell us at support@bangla.gov.bd.
UBoard is developed by Bangladesh Computer Council, ICT Division, under the Enhancement of Bangla Language in ICT through Research and Development (EBLICT) project.
