How to type

Write the word the way it sounds. Long vowels: aa, ee, oo. A small letter is the soft sound, a capital letter in the middle of a word is the hard one.

How do I type Hindi with an English keyboard?

Just write the word in English letters the way it sounds - for example "namaste" - and press Space. It becomes नमस्ते. If the spelling is not what you wanted, use the Up / Down arrow keys or click one of the other suggestions shown above the box.

How do I get the long vowels like aa, ee and oo?

Type the long sound twice: "kaam" gives काम, "meetha" gives मीठा, "poori" gives पूरी. If you type a single letter the tool still tries to guess, and shows other spellings you can pick.

How do I type ट ठ ड ढ and ड़?

A capital letter in the middle of a word gives the hard sound: "kaTa" is कट, "baDa" is बड, "laRka" is लड़का. You can also type the soft letter and pick the right spelling from the suggestions.

How do I get the dot (ं), the moon dot (ँ) and the colon (ः)?

Nasal sounds before a consonant come out automatically - "hindi" gives हिंदी, "ganga" gives गंगा. Type a capital M for ं, ~ for ँ and a capital H for ः (for example "hu~" gives हुँ, "duHkh" gives दुःख).

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes, it works in a phone browser. Type in English letters and tap a suggestion or press the space key. Turn off auto-correct in your keyboard if it changes the English words before they are converted.

Is my text stored anywhere?

No. The conversion happens inside your browser and nothing is sent to a server. The text you type is kept only in this browser so you do not lose it if you refresh the page.
