Tibetan Input Methods translate sequences of characters typed on standard keyboards into Tibetan glyphs. An input method is one of three components needed for a complete Tibetan Unicode Installation.
Overview
A very good description of basically all available Tibetan Inputs methods is given at the THDL project of the University of Virginia.
