Dear list,
Thanks to Rachel Cross, I stand corrected. Non-roman characters can be inputed in Transcriber by attributing shortcuts to certain keystrokes.
Instructions are at: http://trans.sourceforge.net/en/usermanUS.php#r53
See especially 6.7. Accented characters and internationalization
and 13.1. Define a shortcut
This has solved my problem, I am now able to enter both Phonetic and Bengali characters using this method. (Remember to change the font)
Admittedly this solution is not ideal, as I have to recreate my Keyboard layout with keystrokes, and the shortcut coding is not as flexible as Keyman because Keyman allows dummy keys.
Doug Marmion suggested I also test ELAN. I downloaded it and found that it DOES accept my Keyman keyboard, so I could be using that with my normal method of character entry. For now I'll stick with Transcriber until my understanding of ELAN catches up.
Thanks to all respondents.
Matthew
