 If your device can display this sentence in Hindi perfectly, then your device supports Hindi and Swarachakra should also work well. If you do not see any text, or if some of the words are incorrect, Swarachakra may not work well. 
Swarachakra Hindi (स्वरचक्र हिंदी) is a touch-screen keyboard for inputting text in Hindi. (For Marathi please use Swarachakra Marathi and for Konkani please use Swarachakra Konkani. Swarachakra is also available in Gujarati, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Punjabi, Bengali and Tamil.) Swarachakra uses a logically ordered design based on the structure of Devanagari. Swarachakra displays the consonants sequenced according to the logical structure of Devanagari, phonetically grouped and arranged in a grid similar to those found in most school textbooks.
In Devanagari, we frequently need to type a combination of a 
 (
) and a 
 (
) like 
 +
 = 
. When you touch a consonant, a chakra with combination of consonants and 10 frequent matras pops up (
). The chakra gives a preview of the possible character combinations. To select a combination, you slide the stylus or finger towards it. 
Typing 
 like 
 is particularly hard for most people. Swarachakra makes it easy. First tap on the first part of the combination and select the halant from the chakra (
 +
). Swarachakra then shows a preview of all possible conjuncts that begin with that consonant (
 +
 +
 = 
; 
 +
 + 
 = 
 etc.). If you need to add a matra, select it from the new chakra like earlier (
).
To type a 
 (
), a 
 (
) or a 
 (
), first select the corresponding key from the right-most bottom keys, and then type as usual. 
Complete 
 (
) appear in a separate chakra on the bottom right. The less used vowels and matras are next to it (
). Numerals, symbols and rarely used characters appear on a shift. You could also switch to the QWERTY keypad temporarily to input English characters.
First, install Swarachakra Hindi by clicking the “Install” button above.
Next, you need to “enable” the keyboard. To enable, open “Settings”, select “Language and Input” and check the box in front of 
 (Swarachakra Hindi) in the “Keyboard and input methods” section. 
Finally, click on the “Default” option in the “Keyboard and input methods” section, and select 
 (Swarachakra Hindi) as the default keyboard. (Sorry, but that’s how Android works)
NOTE: Swarachakra is designed for Android 4.0 (ICS) onwards. It does not work right now on older versions because they do not have Unicode support.
