Thanks.

So probably the user on the video types in a phonetic approximation of the words using the latin alphabet, and the software translates it to the abugida symbols?

Seems plausable, especially because he types several latin characters to get one symbol.

Interesting to note that sometimes he also uses digits.

The demo video appears to show typing in Fe'fe', which uses a Latin alphabet.

The library apparently also supports Amharic/Ge'ez, which does use an abugida, but I can't find any videos of this.
