Overview
Mayabi Keyboard, created by Mayabi Soft, is a free personalization keyboard app for mobile devices designed for Bengali speakers in Bangladesh and regions of India. It bundles Bangla typing with an English layout so you can type in both languages without switching apps.
Languages and layout options
The keyboard supports both Bangla and English and lets you move between them quickly. You can pick a traditional fixed keyboard or a phonetic layout depending on which input style you prefer.
Notable capabilities
- Built-in dictionary with predictive text to speed up typing and suggest word completions
- Fast language toggle using a swipe on the spacebar for seamless switching
- Choice between a fixed key arrangement or a phonetic mapping to match your typing habits
- Dedicated subgroup for common symbols and emoji access
- Free to download and straightforward to personalize for everyday use
Known limitations
The app has not received updates in quite a while, and the visual design looks dated compared with more recently updated keyboards. It remains usable for basic typing needs, but don’t expect fresh features or major interface changes in the near future.
Who should consider it and alternatives
If you want a simple Bangla keyboard that covers essential needs and offers word prediction, Mayabi Keyboard is a practical pick—provided you’re comfortable with its older appearance. If you prefer something more actively maintained, consider alternatives such as the Ekushe Free Bangla Keyboard or other current Bangla input tools available in app stores.
