== Overview ==
A very good description of basically all available Tibetan Inputs methods is given at the [http://www.thdl.org/tools/input.html THDL] project of the University of Virginia.
 
== Windows 2000 and Windows XP ==
[http://www.tavultesoft.com/ Tavultesoft] offers a commercial Tool, Keyman, which supports a number of different input methods for Tibetan. Starting with version 7, Keyman is no longer available for free.
 
A free input method, TISE, is available [http://thdl.org/tools/tise.html here].
 
== Windows Vista ==
Vista supports a standard Tibetan input method as part of the operating system. No further software needs to be installed. A Tibetan keyboard can be enabled using "Control Panel / Regional and Language Options".
 
== Linux ==
* The [http://uim.freedesktop.org/wiki/ UIM package] contains a Wylie input method for Linux.
* The Dzongkha XKB keyboard, which is part of XFree 86 can also be used for typing Tibetan Unicode.
* [http://kmfl.sourceforge.net/ KMFL] enables keyboards developed for Tavultesoft's Keyman utility to be used under Linux.
 
== Mac OS-X ==
For Mac, [http://sourceforge.jp/projects/macuim/ MacUIM] is a port of UIM for Mac OS-X.
Chris Walker has also created [http://www.tibetanportal.com/tibetanportal/pages/keyboards/macoskeys.html Unicode Tibetan Mac System Keyboards].
