Providing due respect to Pandit Raghunath Murmu, here is the Santali Notepad, for all the Santal friends.
You can write, save, share and send Ol Chiki (Ol Cemet’) texts using Santali Notepad.
The keyboard has three parts: One Ol Chiki (Ol Cemet’) keyboard, one Devanagari keyboard and one English keyboard, covering almost all of the characters useful for a Santali writer.
All Devanagari vowel matras are supported in the Devanagari keyboard. For Devanagari consonant matras and compound consonants, use 'Virama (Halant)'.
Select a portion of the text by dragging the finger over the desired portion.
You can apply different text properties such as text color, text size, bold, italic and text background colors to the selected text by clicking the buttons provided at the top.
By pressing the common button at the top left corner (3 vertical dots), multiple options such as 'new document', 'copy selected text', 'copy all text', 'paste text' and 'delete file', 'insert image' and 'delete image'. Do copy and paste by selecting corresponding options.

After clicking this button you will be asked whether to send as text, image or pdf through a pop-up menu. If you chose 'as text' option, then only the text content will be shared. In case of 'as image' option, the content will be converted to JPEG image and will be shared. For android versions below Kitkat, the feature of sharing as PDF doesn't exist. Please not that when only the text content is sent, the rendering correctness of the content will depends upon the receiving device and application.

If you want to select an word from the suggested word, just tap on that word there. The app will also learn new words you type.
