<p><b>InScript</b> (short for Indic Script) is the <a href="Decree" title="Decree">decreed</a> standard keyboard layout for Indian <a href="Writing_system" title="Writing system">scripts</a> using a standard 104- or 105-key <a href="Keyboard_layout" title="Keyboard layout">layout</a>.

<p>Devanagari InScript bilingual keyboard layout has a common layout for all the Indian scripts. Most <a href="Indic_scripts" class="mw-redirect" title="Indic scripts">Indic scripts</a> have the same <a href="Phonetic" class="mw-redirect" title="Phonetic">phonetic</a> character order. A person who knows InScript typing in one script can type in any other Indic script using dictation even without knowledge of that script.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>
<p>The first InScript keyboard was standardised in 1986 under the auspices of the DOE (Department of Electronics at the Ministry of Communications &amp; Information Technology).<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was subsequently revised in 1988 by a DOE committee and modifications were made to accommodate <i> <a href="Nuqta" title="Nuqta">nuqta</a> </i> extended keys as well as to add certain <i>matras</i>. The last revision to the BIS document was made in 1992, after which the document has not undergone any revision. This was partly because very few new characters were added to the <a href="ISCII" class="mw-redirect" title="ISCII">ISCII</a> code-set and these if at all were handled by extending and generating the character by the use of the nuqta. The BIS document specifically mentions such characters. Hence the InScript keyboards were felt to be self-sufficient. With the advent of <a href="Unicode" title="Unicode">Unicode</a>, a few new characters were added to each code-page; characters for which the BIS document had not made any provision. In addition Unicode introduced the concept of <a href="ZWJ" class="mw-redirect" title="ZWJ">ZWJ</a> and <a href="ZWNJ" class="mw-redirect" title="ZWNJ">ZWNJ</a>, as well as that of normalisation.
</p><p>These new features had marked repercussions on storage as well as inputting and an urgent need was felt for a revision whereby each new character introduced in Unicode would be accommodated on the keyboard and a uniform manner of entering data as well as storing data would be devised. With this urgent requirement in mind, <a href="Centre_for_Development_of_Advanced_Computing" title="Centre for Development of Advanced Computing">CDAC</a> GIST involved in the initiative all major players: <a href="IBM" title="IBM">IBM</a>, <a href="Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a> and <a href="Red_Hat" title="Red Hat">Red Hat</a> Linux and hence in 2008, a joint meeting was organised between CDAC GIST and senior representatives of these multi-nationals to devise a common and uniform strategy for inputting and equally important for storage. This would enable the creation of one single keyboard and more importantly one single storage, essential for all high-end <a href="Natural_language_processing" title="Natural language processing">NLP</a>. A task-force was created with two major briefs:
</p>
<ol><li>Evolve a design policy which would retain the major features of the existing Inscript keyboard.</li>
<li>Accommodate on the keyboard every character proposed in Unicode 5.1 and also ensure that the design could accommodate all future additions. This resulted in a document by the joint deliberations of all these companies described as proposal for “Enhanced InScript keyboard layout 5.1”.</li></ol>
