Hindi typing, done in your browser.

Type Hindi words using English letters — like "namaste" or "dhanyavaad" — and watch them convert to Devanagari script as you go. Runs entirely on your device; nothing you type is ever sent anywhere.

Hindi Typing Tool

Local & offline

Type phonetically in English below — each word converts to Hindi (Devanagari) the moment you hit space or punctuation. For common words with more than one valid spelling, you'll see a "Did you mean" picker to choose from. Press Ctrl+G to switch phonetic typing on or off.

Shortcut: Ctrl+G

Uses Google's transliteration service for higher accuracy when available (this sends the word you're typing to Google to convert it). If Google's service is unreachable, this tool automatically falls back to its own local, offline phonetic engine — nothing leaves your browser in that case.

Good to know

Typing "n" right before another consonant (as in "rang" or "sundar") automatically becomes the nasal ं sign, matching common Hindi spelling. If you want a literal न् conjunct instead — as in जन्म — insert an apostrophe: "jan'ma". A single period converts to the Hindi full stop "।".

How this Hindi typing tool works

As you type each word in English and press space, punctuation, or Enter, the word is inserted instantly using a local phonetic engine and a small curated dictionary, then sent to Google's transliteration service to get a more accurate result — swapped in automatically the moment it arrives, usually within a fraction of a second.

If Google's service is slow or unreachable, the local result simply stays as-is — typing never stops working, it just falls back to the offline engine. When a word has more than one valid spelling or meaning, a "Did you mean" picker appears below the box so you can choose the right one. Use the "View typing chart" button any time for a quick reference to the local engine's phonetic rules.

Frequently asked questions

How does this Hindi typing tool work?

Type Hindi words using English letters — for example "namaste" or "dhanyavaad" — and each word converts to Devanagari script the moment you press space or punctuation. The tool sends each word to Google's transliteration service for the most accurate result, backed by a local phonetic engine and a small built-in dictionary that take over automatically if Google's service is unreachable.

Does this tool send my typing to Google?

Yes — each word you type is sent to Google's transliteration service to get the most accurate conversion. If that service is ever unreachable, the tool automatically falls back to its own local, offline phonetic engine and dictionary, so typing keeps working either way.

What is the "Did you mean" suggestion picker?

When a word has more than one valid spelling or reading, a row of clickable options appears below the box so you can pick the one you meant — sourced from Google's suggestions when available, or from this tool's built-in dictionary otherwise.

Why does a word sometimes convert differently than I expect?

If Google's service is temporarily unreachable, this tool falls back to fixed phonetic spelling rules, so exact spelling matters more in that case — for example, type "aa" for a long आ sound and single "a" for the short sound, as in "raam" for राम versus "ram" for रम. Check the phonetic key on this page for the full mapping.

How do I type a nasal sound like ं in Hindi?

Typing "n" before another consonant, like in "rang" or "sundar", automatically produces the nasal ं (anusvara) sign. To force a literal न् conjunct instead, such as in जन्म, insert an apostrophe between the letters, e.g. jan'ma. (This applies to the local fallback engine; Google's service handles this automatically.)
