It's ironic that I have to ask this question because I created some of the earliest software and fonts to do this back when the Mac first came out but I haven't kept up.

What is the best way to type Sanskrit using the Windows OS?

For years I used ITranslator because it was easy to touch type it and convert to both devanagari and transliteration.

Surely a better solution has been developed by now; and one that directly supports Unicode output.

I realize there are several issues involved (such as Unicode being separate from input) but I'm wondering if there's an easy to use, integrated solution these days?

Best,

Dean
