Try this keyboard: Estonian Keyboard
Start with the displayed Estonian layout
Find õ at right bracket and ä at quote on the normal layer. The Ü example comes from Shift with left bracket, whose unshifted output is ü. Read the full label before clicking, because neighboring vowel positions can be easy to confuse at first.
Open the Estonian keyboard and save any existing draft you want to keep. Clear the editor for this exercise, then turn off Caps, Shift, and Alt Gr. Clicking the on-screen characters avoids relying on the printed labels of your physical keyboard.
Enter õ ä Ü one example at a time
First, use the normal layer and click õ at the ] position. Next, use the normal layer and click ä at the ' position. Finally, use the Shift layer and click Ü at the [ position. Insert one Space between the examples. The finished practice row is õ ä Ü. These separated characters are an exercise, not a word or a translation.
For each example, enable only its stated modifier combination and check that the large key label matches the intended character. On-screen Shift and Alt Gr stay active until you toggle them off. Return to the normal layer after the final example; do not leave an extra modifier selected.
Review the characters before formatting
Compare the editor with õ ä Ü. If one item differs, select that item and click its correct key again. Undo and Redo can recover text edits during this page session. Keep one space between the examples so each character remains easy to inspect.
Confirm that the last item is Ü rather than Õ or Ä. Those capitals come from different physical positions even though all are selected through Shift. If you need ö later, find semicolon on the normal layer; do not substitute a visually similar mark over another vowel.
Set a clear style and download the practice row
Open Text style using the font button above the editor. Explicitly choose Arial, set the size to 28 px, choose Automatic color, and turn bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough off. Set direction to Left to right. These settings apply to the complete editor, even when a smaller passage is selected.
Choose Save image to download a PNG, then open it and compare its text with the editor. The image centers the text on a white background. Font appearance depends on fonts available on your device; a missing glyph can use a fallback. For text you can revise later, Save Word (.docx) creates an editable document instead. Both downloads include the whole editor.

Tips for this layout
A fixed character set
The keyboard does not predict words or synthesize missing accents. Use paste or native input for characters not shown.
Use capitals and symbols
Use the same four positions with Shift for capitals. The normal number row becomes punctuation under Shift. Alt Gr with E gives €, 2 gives @, and 7 through 0 gives braces and brackets. Other alternate positions may be empty.
Common questions
Where are the four direct vowel keys?
Left bracket supplies ü, right bracket supplies õ, semicolon supplies ö, and quote supplies ä. Shift gives the corresponding capitals. These are complete characters rather than a base letter plus a separately typed accent.
Can the keyboard predict a word from these letters?
No. It inserts the selected characters directly and does not predict Estonian words or synthesize missing accents. Review your spelling and obtain any absent character through native input or paste.
Will Copy keep the style shown in my image?
Copy sends the entire editor as plain text, so the receiving app supplies its appearance. Use PNG for a fixed visual result or Word for editable text with the selected font, size, color, and direction.
Try your own Estonian text
Repeat the example, then replace it with the text you need. Review any unfamiliar characters before copying or downloading the finished version.
