English to Telugu typing or the Inscript keyboard?

English-letter typing (also called transliteration or phonetic typing) is the quickest way to start: there is no new layout to learn, so it suits messages, posts and short texts. The Telugu – Inscript layout puts every Telugu letter on its own key. It takes a few weeks to learn, but it is faster for long texts and is what most typing exams and offices use – practise it with the Telugu typing tutor.
