Quillpad allows users to type freely without having to follow any strict typing rules. While Quillpad predicts most words correctly, there may be a few cases where the desired word may not appear in the predicted options. Such words can be composed by entering the words in an ITRANS like scheme.
The following examples demonstrate how to write words using the ITRANS like scheme
| Input | Output | |
| raaj/kumaar | রাজ্কুমার | Note the use of '/' in this example | | rAShTrapati | রাষ্ট্রপতি | We can use either 'aa' or 'A' | | raaj.h^^kumaar | রাজ্কুমার | It can be written this way too. | | kanna.mbaaDi | কন্নংবাডি | You can use .n or .m for anusvara |

Halanth
Halanth is used to combine two consonants to form conjuncts Examples
- ক +্+ ষ = ক্ষ
- ষ +্+ ট + ্ + র = ষ্ট্র
Halanth is also used to form half-consonants. ক + ্ = ক্
Nukta
Nukta is added after a base consonant.
ক +় = ক়
Zero Width Modifiers
zwj and zwnj are used to prevent default joining of two consonants. Examples
- ক + ্ + ষ = ক্ষ (Default)
- ক + ্ + <zwj> + ষ = ক্ষ (Combined with zwj)
- ক +্+ <zwnj> + ষ = ক্ষ (Combined with zwnj)
<delim> has been provided as a shortcut to <halanth><zwnj>. Look at the examples table below for further information
