Tekann Mapped to Keyboard
Os. Xroniton tei. Kxontakn tei. Sanitatx teilim klatxampul Tekann. Pakustann pein tei. Liksutrauklix tei a ksu tei jon lat pent ne. tsautx pek Xapuk.
Hello. I've been away, but I'm back. I made a font for Tekann so that I can write faster. I hope to be back more often and I hope you enjoy the font. Long Live Savukk.
-------
Tekann has 107 assigned character glyphs, which obviously won't fit nicely to the 48 regular keys on an extended keyboard. Not wanting to sacrifice all the nice functions of Alt and Ctrl keys, it became tricky to fit everything.
Most of the glyphs were shunted in as so:
In addition to these, 34 other characters have been programmed into Word's autocorrect feature and special character shortcuts. Medial consonant clusters autocorrect as you type (i.e. k and s are changed to the glyph for ks). Initial clusters are set as shortcuts (i.e. ALT+k,s change to the glyph for initial ks).
Its mostly intuitive, and definitely slower going that typing english, but much faster than building each glyph in paint. The column style of writing has to be done manually and it required I devote Word to Tekann (I use OpenOffice for everything else).
