Tibetan input can be done in Wylie or with a Tibetan keyboard layout. Alternatively, users may utilize the "Iron Rabbit" Tibetan keyboard available in the Google Play Store to input text in Tibetan without using Wylie transliteration. The application also supports direct Wylie input without requiring additional keyboard installations.

Common Problems:

The app requires approximately 100 MB of dictionary data to be stored on the device, so ensure your device has sufficient internal memory available. If you encounter any issues during startup despite having ample space, feel free to reach out for assistance. While the app is designed to work on devices with Android 4.4 and later versions, compatibility issues may arise on older devices affecting the display of Tibetan fonts in text fields. In such cases, adjusting the application settings to display input text in Wylie transliteration can serve as a temporary solution.
