We've listed the technical advantages of KeymanWeb which makes it a solution that is both user-friendly and beneficial to your business. Plus, we've also outlined the reasons why we believe Tavultesoft can offer the ongoing support and business experience you require.

Technical Advantage of KeymanWeb

  • Leverage off Existing Keyman Products

    Use Existing Keyboards developed for Keyman: We already have keyboards available for hundreds of languages.

    Same architecture as Keyman: KeymanWeb uses the same architecture as our award winning flagship product Keyman.

    Use the same development tools (Keyman Developer): Our full featured keyboard layout development tool, Keyman Developer, provides keyboard developers with all the tools they need for keyboard layout design.

  • Flexible Product

    Phonetic or Typewriter layouts: KeymanWeb is flexible enough to support phonetic or romanised input, as well as traditional typewriter layouts – support all your end users.

    Any language: KeymanWeb will work with any language – from Chinese to Hindi to Amharic to French.

  • Easy to Use

    Visual keyboard: A dynamic and interactive visual keyboard provides users with a clear display of the keyboard layout.

    Tight integration: KeymanWeb has a clear user interface with a distinctive icon, and uncluttered layout – users can start typing with only a click or two.

  • Easy to Implement

    Minimal HTML changes: KeymanWeb can be added to an existing site with a single line of JavaScript code.

    No files to host: The Subscription Edition does not require you to host any files, and you will automatically receive new versions and patches as they are made available. The Professional Edition has just a few files to host in the folder of your choice on your website.

    Flexible JavaScript API: KeymanWeb includes a programming interface that allows you to automatically select keyboards, remember the user's keyboard through a profile or cookie, and control every aspect of its display.

  • Lightweight

    Small JavaScript Engine: We recognise that bandwidth is important for high use sites. The KeymanWeb engine is tiny – less than 30 kilobytes.

    Keyboards load on first use: KeymanWeb keyboards are dynamically loaded when the user selects them – so no unnecessary code is loaded.

    Load on demand option for high-use pages: For very high use pages, KeymanWeb itself can be dynamically loaded when the user clicks on the icon, reducing the unloaded bandwidth to a few hundred bytes.

    No install required: Your site visitors are not required to install any components, applications or ActiveX controls to use KeymanWeb.

  • Portable

    Tested on IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari and other browsers: KeymanWeb has been tested on all modern browsers, and cleanly scales back functionality for older or less capable browsers.

    Works with any Unicode web application: KeymanWeb supports any web application that stores and displays its data using the Unicode standard. Please contact us if you have legacy code page support requirements – KeymanWeb can also work in these environments with a minimal code base change.
