About Tavultesoft

Tavultesoft is the developer of a market-leading keyboard mapping software, Keyman. Keyman brings a simple solution to the complexity of typing in a range of languages and scripts.

The Keyman product family includes keyboard design tools, Windows-based keyboard mapping, and web-based JavaScript keyboards. Keyman has attracted users from around the globe who both benefit from the software and the keyboard layouts available. Linguistic experts around the globe contribute their expertise and skills to develop keyboard layouts for both common languages and languages that otherwise would have no support on computers.
