Type Hindi the way it sounds

No Hindi keyboard needed: type meraa naam and get मेरा नाम. Every word turns into Devanagari as soon as you press space, so you can see each word as you go and fix it at once. The rules are fixed and simple (no guessing from a dictionary), so the same letters always give the same Hindi, and the table beside the box lists them all.

Or use the standard Inscript keyboard

If you are learning Inscript for an exam or office work, switch to Inscript keys: your keyboard types the Inscript layout, and the on-screen keyboard shows what every key gives, with Shift. Tap keys on screen if you are on a phone or tablet. To practise speed and accuracy, take the Hindi typing test.

Use your Hindi anywhere

The text is Unicode, the standard every phone, computer and website understands: paste it into WhatsApp, Word, Gmail or a government portal. If a document needs Kruti Dev instead, copy it as Kruti Dev, or convert longer text with the Kruti Dev converter.

Frequently asked questions

How do I type Hindi with an English keyboard?

Choose "By sound" and type the word as it sounds in English letters: namaste, bhaarat, hindee. When you press space or a punctuation mark the word turns into Hindi: नमस्ते, भारत, हिन्दी. Long vowels are doubled (aa, ee, oo), and capitals give the harder sounds (T ट, D ड, N ण, Sh ष).

Why did my word come out with ण instead of न?

Capital N is ण and small n is न, so a phone that capitalises the first letter of a sentence can change the word. Type in small letters; the box asks phones not to auto-capitalise, but some keyboards do anyway.

How do I join letters into a conjunct like स्त or क्ष?

Type the consonants one after the other with no vowel between them: "st" gives स्त, "ksh" gives क्ष, "tr" gives त्र and "GY" gives ज्ञ. Put a vowel between them and they stay separate: "sat" gives सत.

What is the Inscript keyboard?

Inscript is the Government of India standard Hindi keyboard, built into Windows, Android and iPhone. Each key types one letter or sign, vowels on the left and consonants on the right. Choose "Inscript keys" to type it with your English keyboard, or tap the keys on screen.

Can I get my text in Kruti Dev?

"Copy as Kruti Dev" copies the text converted to Kruti Dev 010 keystrokes, ready to paste into a document set in that font. For longer conversions in either direction use the Kruti Dev converter.

Is what I type saved anywhere?
