Marathi typing: InScript or Remington?
InScript is the Indian keyboard built into Windows and phones and types Unicode Marathi directly. Remington is the old typewriter layout, the same keys as Kruti Dev. Check your exam notice for the layout it allows, then practise that one daily with timed tests.

- Your exam or job notice names a Marathi keyboard
- You learnt typewriter Marathi and now type on a computer
- You are starting Marathi typing and want to pick one layout
InScript
InScript puts vowels under the left hand and consonants under the right, the same for Hindi, Marathi and every Indian script. It types Unicode Marathi, so the text works in any app, email or website.
ळ has its own key, and joined letters are typed with the halant key, the way you would write them.
Remington
Remington is the typewriter layout. Its keys match the Kruti Dev font, so text typed this way is in an old font and needs converting before it works on phones.
People who learnt on a typewriter are often faster with it. If that is you and your exam allows it, keep it.
Which one to pick
For new learners, InScript is the easier long-term choice because it works everywhere without converting. Always read your exam notice first, then practise with the timed test below.

Questions people ask
Does Remington type ळ?
Yes. In the Kruti Dev keys ळ is Shift + G.
Can I practise on a phone?
Exams use a computer keyboard, so practise there. On a phone, the typing test uses your phone's own keyboard.
