Because I have never typed in Hindi using a Hindi keyboard layout. That's why I need transliteration. Plus, my Hindi typing needs are limited to just typing my paper diary (quite some pages and majority are in Hindi, since class VIII).
Learning Hindi typing while I can't actually touch-type in English right now won't be wise. So, I think transliteration is a good option. And thanks, I will try SCIM anyway.
