What is English to Punjabi typing?
English to Punjabi typing lets you write Punjabi script with an ordinary English keyboard. Instead of learning a special Punjabi keyboard layout, you spell each word with Latin letters and the converter rewrites it in Punjabi script. The result is standard Punjabi Unicode, so it displays correctly on Facebook, WhatsApp, Gmail, MS Word and every modern phone.
This Punjabi 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.
