About this tool
This is a phonetic typing pad: you type the sound of a Hindi word in English letters and, when you press space, Enter or punctuation, that word is replaced with Devanagari. There is no keyboard layout to memorise and no app or font to install, so it works on a shared computer, a phone browser or an office machine you are not allowed to change.
The result is ordinary Unicode Hindi. You can paste it into email, a Word or Google Docs file, a form or a social post and it will display correctly everywhere. If you need the old KrutiDev font for a government typing test or office file, convert it afterwards with the KrutiDev converter.
Common words come out right on the first try. Less common words, names and Sanskrit-style words sometimes need a fix, because the same Roman spelling can stand for different Hindi spellings. Click into the word and correct it; the rest of your text is not touched.
Typing rules that give clean Hindi
Stretch long vowels by doubling the letter: raam gives राम, meera gives मीरा and phool gives फूल. A final “a” is read as the long vowel ा, so kamla becomes कमला. Use capital T, D and N when you want the hard sounds ट, ड and ण, as in the capital-letter words Thanda and Dhokha.
Type a full stop and it becomes a danda (।). A word you want to keep in English, such as an email address or brand, can be restored by pressing Backspace once straight after it converts; it then stays in English letters.
Good habits for longer documents
Type in short sentences and press space after each word instead of pasting a long Roman paragraph at once, because you will spot the odd conversion while the word is still fresh. For a finished block of Hinglish that you only need converted, the Hinglish to Hindi page is faster, since it shows the original and the result side by side.
Download the .txt file now and then if you are writing something long. The page does not save your text when you close the tab.

Questions
Do I need to install a Hindi font or keyboard?
No. The output is standard Unicode Hindi, which every modern phone, computer and app already displays.
How do I keep a word in English?
Press Backspace right after it converts, and it goes back to the English letters you typed and stays that way.
Why did a word convert incorrectly?
Roman spelling is ambiguous and rarer words are not always guessed right. Click into the word and edit it; nothing else changes.
Does my text get saved?
Only while the page is open. Use Copy or Download .txt before you leave, because nothing is stored or sent to a server.
