The idea for Kakvei arose from the difficulties we faced when typing in Khmer. Through interviews and surveys with around two thousand Cambodian digital writers, we found that over 98% expressed frustration with the current typing system—mainly due to the large number of characters that are not efficiently organized on the keyboard and the need to switch between multiple keyboard layers while typing. Although the project initially began as a way to address our own challenges, it has since evolved into a mission to support thousands of Cambodians who face similar struggles. With a goal to improve the Khmer typing experience, we came together as a team to bring this vision to life. Our aim is to create a tool, available across various platforms—including both phones and computers—that delivers efficient and accurate Khmer transliteration, spell-checking, and grammar correction.
