What is Phakchi?
Phakchi is a Thai keyboard app designed for those who want to make and print Thai texts and send Thai messages on SNS but don't remember Thai characters completely. The app separates consonants and vowels and arranges them based on the dictionary order. It also has a vowel set input system that allows users to easily input 27 vowels with complicated combinations. The app has six input modes: consonants, vowels, numbers, Thai numerals, English alphabets, and Thai phrases.
1. (1)Consonants and vowels are arranged separately, and the screen is divided into three screens: the main screen, consonant B screen, and vowel screen, so it is easy to find characters.
2. (2)The main screen has 26 frequently used consonants, 10 simple vowels, 4 tone marks and symbols such as Mai Taikhu, so you can enter many words only on the main screen.
3. (5)The consonant keys have phonetic symbols for the initial consonant and numbers in dictionary order, so similar letters can be mistaken.
4. If you tap a consonant key while this key is ON, the consonant letter will not be entered and the screen will switch to the vowel screen.
5. (2) To add a tone mark, press any of the “tone shift key” on the vowel screen.
6. (3)For words that start with a vowel symbol, use “co/vo” key to switch to the vowel screen and enter the vowel.
7. On the consonant keys, phonetic symbols and dictionary order numbers are added so that you don't mistake similar letters.
8. For example, when entering “เดี๋ยว: Immediately”, you can enter “เดี๋ย” with one tap, after you choose the initial consonant “ด” and the tone mark “+”.
9. (2)If you can't find, press the shift key and search for it on the consonant B screen.
10. (4) The screen returns to the main screen, so add the final consonant if you need it.
11. (3) Using the phonetic symbols on the vowel keys as a guide, find and tap the key you want to enter.
