Type Thai teaches you to type Thai on a native-style keyboard you'll actually use every day. Because typing is where Thai gets real: joining the group chat, ordering off the local menu, reading signs that don't match the textbook, and texting friends in their language. Everything you need to master the script: • Learn the Alphabet from Scratch: New to Thai script? The Basics section covers every consonant and vowel with reading and listening practice — so you're ready to type. • Lessons & Hints: Take you from your first key press to your first complete Thai message. • Native Pronunciation & Tone Tools: Learn how the language actually sounds with real-time feedback. • Real-World Font Comparisons: Switch keyboard layouts and output fonts to match the exact script variants you'll see on streets, signs, and menus. Try the first lessons completely free. When you're ready to master the script, choose the option that fits your journey best: unlock everything forever with a single lifetime purchase, or choose a flexible weekly, monthly, or annual subscription. Start with a 7-day free trial to experience the full app entirely risk-free. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
