Acharya

Acharya is an intuitive application designed to help you write text in Indian and other derivative languages, such as Bangla, Hindi or Tamil as well as English using either the virtually integrated keyboard or the physical one.

The provided interface is accessible and clean, having several themes. It consists of a virtual keyboard and the text editor. You can open and edit multiple documents at the same time. The supported file type is ACI.

You can set the language for the phonetic keymap layout from the drop-down menu and start typing. Regardless of your keyboard type, the text is written in the selected language.

You can copy and paste content from another source, like documents or webpages, and increase or decrease the displayed text. The key mapping for each language is explained in the help section.

It's possible to search for particular words and view the character count. Settings can also be configured before printing the document, such as page margins. The app lets you save the output as a PDF, RTF or Unicode (UTF-8) text file.

Sadly, Acharya offers few options, which limits the choice to personalize your documents. It would've been nice if the app came with a spellchecker for each language, bullet/number lists to structure important data, along with support for attaching images to add a touch of personality to the drafts.

The bottom line is that Acharya is an approachable word processor which focuses on providing you with a clean and comfortable environment for writing text in Indian languages, in addition to English.

It has a virtual keyboard with different key mappings, and it can generate PDF or PDF files out of your text. We would have liked more options to play it, though.
