What is English to Hindi typing?
English to Hindi typing lets you write Hindi script with an ordinary English keyboard. Instead of learning a special Hindi keyboard layout, you spell each word with Latin letters and the converter rewrites it in Hindi script. The result is standard Hindi Unicode, so it displays correctly on Facebook, WhatsApp, Gmail, MS Word and every modern phone.
This Hindi typing page converts on your own device, so letters appear with no delay even on a slow mobile connection. Extra spelling suggestions load underneath the box whenever you are online.
How to use English to Hindi typing online
- Click the first box and type a Hindi word in English letters, e.g. suprabhat.
- Watch the Hindi box fill in: सुप्रभात.
- Press space to keep the highlighted word, or tap a different suggestion.
- When finished, press Copy, save the text, or send it straight to WhatsApp or Telegram.
You can also edit the Hindi box directly to fix a letter by hand. Want the meaning in English instead of the script? Use our English translation tools.
