Thai Script Keyboard

Post by Chriss » May 14, 2020, 11:24 am

Does anyone know if there are PC keyboards with Thai Script only. Had a look online and they all seem to be dual En + Th. I have a dual board but to use the Thai script it's Control or FN plus the Thai key, if I remember correctly.

Trying to make life as easy as possible for 7 yr olds online schooling starting Monday.

You might be able to find one in the bowels of Landmark......if not, there are always keyboard stickers like these:

Thanks Parrot, is Landmark open....
The stickers identify the specific keys but the board remains a dual language.
Think I'll have to use the iPad and project it to the TV rather than using a PC.

I switch between Thai and English on my English only keyboard......gboard for English, swiftkey for Thai. You can choose to display the keyboards on a touchscreen or choose to blindtype the letters as you choose.

I haven't seen a Thai-only PC keyboard, even in client offices with all-Thai staff.

Windows can easily be configured to switch between English and Thai keyboards, both W7 and W10. You can even make one or the other the default keyboard.

On the family W7 machine, I set up a User account for the oldest niece which launches everything, including the keyboard, in Thai. If I log in as Admin, it's all English including keyboard.

On this, my work W10 machine, I click on the 'ENG' tab and the pop-up dialog to change keyboards is offered.

The old desktop I've been setting up for daughter was supposed to emulate the PC's they use at school. School told me they use Win XP so that's the OS I've installed and added a dual language keyboard. XP's obviously not as sophisticated as W7 or W10 but I'm thinking it must be able to boot to Thai language. Something for this afternoons fun.

To start her online school off I've set up my ipad, which can have a Thai only touch screen keyboard. With the aid of an app I can project the iPad screen to the big TV using Apple Airplay... I guess tomorrow will test whether this is a winner..

Will this work?

Yes that's how I put Thai language onto the XP machine but for some reason, and I checked again yesterday, I still need to hold Ctrl to use all the Thai script keys.
