In Assamese, an as-phonetic input method is often referred to as a phonetic transliteration method. One popular example is the Assamese Phonetic Keyboard. This input method allows users to type Assamese based on how the words sound, without requiring knowledge of the traditional script.
For instance, typing "aami" will be transliterated into আমাৰ (which means "I" or "we"). This makes it easier for people unfamiliar with the script to type in Assamese phonetically.
