    Comparisons with existing solutions

    Presently All Linux distribution natively supports inscript keyboard layout for
   Indian language input . And phonetic support is added by IndLinux group for
   devanagari known as  Bolnagari. 

    Compared to these existing solution xinput is highly flexible and customizable
   which presently supports INSCRIPT, PHONETIC, and ITRANS input schemes.

   There is no support for itrans input today. But xinput is the only solution for itrans.
   xinput also can support TYPEWRITER and REMINGTON input schemes which is the
   most popular schemes in Government offices but this work is underdevelopment.
   These will added in future versions of Xinput.
