What is the difference between InScript and Remington layouts?

Remington is based on traditional mechanical typewriter key assignments (popularized by Kruti Dev fonts), requiring two or three key combinations for half-letters and conjuncts. InScript is a standardized phonetic-logical layout where vowels are mapped on the left hand and consonants on the right hand.
