How to type Hindi using an English keyboard
Type the sound of each Hindi word with Roman letters—for example, namaste mera naam amit hai. The Hindi text appears instantly as नमस्ते मेरा नाम अमित है. You can use spaces and punctuation normally.

Do I need to install a Hindi keyboard?
No. Type familiar Roman spelling in the input box.
Can I edit a word in the middle?
