How to type in BanglaWord

BanglaWord uses a 'Smart Bangla' typing technology to type Bangla. Text is entered using only the vowels (swarabarnas) and the consonant (banjonbarnos). The conjunct characters (juktho okkors) are placed automatically by the system if possible otherwise when indicated by the user. Bengali alphabet is mapped phonetically on to the standard QWERTY keyboard, independent of any Bangla font. This minimizes the initial learning curve and removes the need for physical layout template.
