Ah, ok… I wasn’t sure where you were going with it.

What I have is actually a keyboard software driver for the Windows PC (Apple Mac later on). It’s not a method of instructions on how to type Thai on a Thai Kedmanee keyboard. So writing an ebook is not feasible.

Anyhoo… Thanks for the suggestion…

Hi James, interesting. The only thing I can think of is to sell it via e-book. Create a site for a home base, and then sell it around at places such as Vern’s Thailand eBooks.

Before you Thai enthusiasts decide to jump in and embark on the laborious task of learning the Thai keyboard, let me advise you to wait.

I have developed something quite groundbreaking which requires only about an hour of orientation and with some practice, you can type like a Thai native in no time. No kidding. (Methink even Thais have problems with their Kedmanee keyboard)

The only requirement is that the typist knows the Thai script fairly well and is familiar with a QWERTY keyboard. Yes, just your existing knowledge of where the ABCs are in a QWERTY keyboard.

I have used and refined it for over a year now, using it to chat in Thai with Thais. Many of them have been puzzled as to how a foreigner like me, (I’m a Chinese Singaporean btw), can type Thai as fast as they do.

Right now, I have been thinking of how best I can release it and receive some bread and butter along the way…

Maybe your readers can give me some ideas…
