* Theme Store (New)
Helakuru now includes a Theme Store with stunning keyboard themes. You can select your favorite theme from the Theme Store or create your own theme by choosing your own colors & a background image.

* Helakuru Plus Portal (New)
It's not just a keyboard anymore which lets you type in Sinhala, but a super app with many features including Sinhala News, TV, Radio & Video streaming & exclusive Sinhala Notifications for national alerts.

* Emoji Support
Helakuru now comes with extended Emoji support which includes all your favorite emojis including the gun.

* Word Predictions:
Helakuru also comes with Sinhala Word Predictions which enables you to type Sinhala words in just one two taps. When you type, this will predict the words as you type so you can just select your preferred word from predictions without typing letter by letter. Helakuru Predictions also supports self-learning so that the new words you type will be automatically saved locally in your device & you can even manage them from Settings.

* Bilingual support:
Helakuru supports both Sinhala & English Input, so that you even don't need to switch to a different Keyboard to type in English. Just tap the Globe key to switch between Sinhala & English.

* Keyboard Layouts:
If you're familiar with Standard Wijesekara keyboard layout to type in Sinhala, you can use that. But if you're not, Helakuru makes your life easier by introducing a Sinhala phonetic (transliteration) layout. With that you can easility type Sinhala phonetically as "ammaa" for "අම්මා" in the same way you type SMS in Singlish.

* System-wide support
Helakuru is not just an app, where you can type in Sinhala only in that app. It's a Standard Android Keyboard which you can use to type in any app system-wide whether it is Messaging app, Facebook app, twitter app or etc.

* Sinhala Unicode Rendering
Helakuru comes with in-built Sinhala Unicode Rendering Technology innovated by Bhasha, so you can type in Sinhala even if your device does not support Sinhala. Helakuru provides a "Sinhala Preview Bar" which helps you to see what you're typing in Sinhala not-supported devices. You can switch on/off the Preview bar from Preferences.

Enjoy typing in your mother-tongue, Sinhala with Helakuru!
