Frequently Asked Questions

Typing in Hindi using an English keyboard is simple with our transliteration tool:

1. Visit our Hindi typing tool at the homepage
2. Start typing in English (phonetically) - for example: "namaste"
3. Press the spacebar and watch it convert to Hindi: "नमस्ते"
4. If the suggested word isn't correct, press backspace to see alternatives
5. Continue typing naturally as you would speak in Hindi

Pro tip: Type how you would pronounce the Hindi words in English for best results.

English to Hindi transliteration is the process of converting text written in English script (Roman alphabet) into Hindi script (Devanagari). Unlike translation, which changes the meaning from one language to another, transliteration converts the same words from one script to another.

Example:

• English typing: "bharat mahan hai"
• Hindi transliteration: "भारत महान है"

This method allows you to type Hindi without learning the Hindi keyboard layout.

No installation required! Our Hindi typing tool is completely web-based and works directly in your browser. Simply:

• Open any web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
• Visit our website
• Start typing immediately
• Works on desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile devices

To type Hindi numbers (० to ९), use our number conversion feature:

For full numbers like "2023", type "2023" and press spacebar to get "२०२३".

Common Hindi punctuation and special characters:

• Full Stop (पूर्ण विराम): Type "।" using "|" key or use the toolbar
• Question Mark: Use regular "?" - it works the same
• Exclamation: Use regular "!" - it works the same
• Comma: Use regular "," - it works the same
• Colon (विसर्ग): Type ":" for ":"
• OM Symbol: Type "om" and select from suggestions to get "ॐ"

If you're getting incorrect Hindi words, try these solutions:

1. Use phonetic spelling: Type exactly how you would pronounce the word
2. Check alternatives: Press backspace to see other word suggestions
3. Break compound words: Type complex words in parts
4. Use correct vowel sounds:
   • "a" for "अ" sound (as in "amar")
   • "aa" for "आ" sound (as in "aam")
   • "i" for "इ" sound (as in "india")
   • "ee" for "ई" sound (as in "seetha")

Conjunct consonants are automatically formed when you type consecutive consonants:

• क्ष: Type "ksh" (as in "akshara" → "अक्षर")
• त्र: Type "tr" (as in "mitra" → "मित्र")
• ज्ञ: Type "gya" (as in "vigyan" → "विज्ञान")
• श्र: Type "shr" (as in "shram" → "श्रम")

Our intelligent system recognizes common conjunct patterns and forms them automatically.
