Developer Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a demonstration of KeymanWeb?

Yes, at http://www.keymanweb.com/

If I need a new language, how do I get it?

Tavultesoft will respond to requests for additional languages – we have access to a large number of keyboard layouts that can be easily modified to meet your needs; Keyman Developer KeymanWeb Pack also includes all the tools you need to create keyboard layouts yourself.

Will KeymanWeb work on all web sites?

KeymanWeb will work on any Unicode-based web site that follows the HTML/XHTML standards.

What are the steps to implement KeymanWeb?

Start a subscription, or with the Professional Edition:

  1. Purchase a licence for your domain.
  2. At a minimum, insert the <SCRIPT> includes into your HTML files to start using KeymanWeb.
  3. Read the Developer's Implementation Guide to understand all the options available.

Will I need additional software or technical resources?

No – KeymanWeb is straightforward to implement and we envision most sites reaching a final implementation within a day or two. We provide additional technical expertise for large sites requiring more complex interactions.

Which languages are not supported?

KeymanWeb supports any language. Keyboards are available for over 600 languages right now. A subset of these are shown on the KeymanWeb Demo site. If you require another language, please contact us for information.

Does KeymanWeb use ActiveX or Java?

No. KeymanWeb runs entirely in JavaScript. No browser add-ons or plugins are required.

What platforms has KeymanWeb been tested on?

KeymanWeb has been tested on Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0, Firefox 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, Opera 8.6, 9.0, Safari 2.0 and later, and Google Chrome. Backward compatibility functionality means that most KeymanWeb functionality will degrade cleanly for older platforms.

What about fonts?

Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox support font embedding, and KeymanWeb keyboards can integrate fonts for these platforms. Opera has a technology preview demonstrating font embedding. For other platforms, help and installers are provided with the keyboards for straightforward font installation. Many platforms already include basic fonts for most languages.

Can I modify existing keyboard layouts or create my own?

Yes. Once you have a licence agreement with us, you have access to the source files for the keyboard layouts, and can modify them to meet your needs. You can also create your own layouts from scratch with the Keyman Developer KeymanWeb Pack product.
