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 | राज्कुमार | Note the use of '/' in this example | | rAShTrapati | राष्ट्रपति | We can use either 'aa' or 'A' | | raaj.h^^kumaar | राज्कुमार | It can be written this way too. | | kanna.mbaaDi | कन्नंबाडि | You can use .n or .m for anusvara |

| अ (a) | आ (A,aa) | इ (i) | ई (I,ii,ee) | उ (u) | ऊ (U,oo) | ऋ (RRi) | ॠ (RRI) | ए (e,E) | ऐ (ai) | ओ (o,O) | औ (au,ou) | ऑ (.C) |
Mathras
Mathras are joined with base consonants or conjuncts to complete a composite letter Examples
| ा (A,aa) | ि (i) | ी (I,ii,ee) | ु (u) | ू (U,oo) | ृ (RRi) | ॄ (RRI) | े (e,E) | ै (ai) | ो (o,O) | ौ (au,ou) | ॅ (.c) | ॉ (.C) |
Anusvara,Visarga and Bindus
Bindus are used with consonants and conjuncts Examples
| ं (.n,.m) | ः (H) | ँ (.N) | ऽ (.a) |
Consonants
| क (k) | ख (kh,K) | ग (g) | घ (gh,G) | ङ (~N) |
| च (ch) | छ (chh,Ch,CH) | ज (j) | झ (jh,Jh,JH) | ञ (~n) |

Extended Consonants (Defined for convenience)
| क़ (q) | ज़ (J) | क्ष (x) | ज्ञ (GY) | ऱ (R) |
Halanth
Halanth is used to combine two consonants to form conjuncts Examples
- क +्+ ष = क्ष
- ष +्+ ट + ् + र = ष्ट्र
Halanth is also used to form half-consonants. क + ् = क्
Nukta
Nukta is added after a base consonant.
क +़ = क़
Zero Width Modifiers
zwj and zwnj are used to prevent default joining of two consonants. Examples
- क + ् + ष = क्ष (Default)
- क + ् + <zwj> + ष = क्ष (Combined with zwj)
- क +्+ <zwnj> + ष = क्ष (Combined with zwnj)
<delim> has been provided as a shortcut to <halanth><zwnj>. Look at the examples table below for further information
