What's the difference between the Nepali and Hindi options?

Nepali and Hindi share the same Devanagari alphabet and near-identical spelling conventions, so this tool uses one shared phonetic engine for both. The language choice mainly affects labeling; it doesn't apply dictionary-level spelling differences between the two languages.

How do I type sounds like ट, ठ, ड, ढ, ण versus त, थ, द, ध, न?

By default every letter is read as lowercase, so accidental capitals (like auto-capitalized sentences on a phone) never break the result. Turn on "Capital letters for retroflex sounds" to use capital T, Th, D, Dh, N for the retroflex sounds (ट ठ ड ढ ण), lowercase t, th, d, dh, n for the dental sounds (त थ द ध न), capital M for ं (anusvara) and capital H for ः (visarga). See the typing guide below the tool for the full reference.

Will every word come out spelled correctly?

This is a phonetic, rule-based converter rather than a dictionary or AI-based one, so it maps sounds directly to letters. Most everyday words convert correctly, but a few irregular or borrowed spellings may need manual adjustment afterward.

M, H → ं, ः (anusvara, visarga)

Capitalized T, Th, D, Dh, N, Sh, M and H only take effect with “Capital letters for retroflex sounds” enabled above, otherwise every letter is read as lowercase so accidental capitals (e.g. from auto-capitalized sentences) never break the result.

Example

Input

timro naam k ho?

Output

तिम्रो नाम क हो?

Type Nepali or Hindi phonetically using Roman letters (e.g. "timro naam k ho") and PDUtilities converts it into proper Devanagari Unicode text as you type, entirely in your browser.

Type Devanagari with an ordinary keyboard

Most people who write Nepali or Hindi on a computer or phone do not have a Devanagari keyboard layout memorised. Phonetic typing solves that: you spell words the way they sound in Roman letters, and the converter turns them into proper Unicode Devanagari as you type. Because the output is standard Unicode, you can paste it into Facebook, WhatsApp, Word, Google Docs, emails and websites, and it displays correctly everywhere.

Retroflex versus dental sounds

Devanagari distinguishes ट ठ ड ढ ण (retroflex, tongue curled back) from त थ द ध न (dental, tongue against the teeth). Roman letters do not. By default every letter is read as lowercase, so phones that auto-capitalise the first letter of a sentence do not break anything; t, d and n give the dental sounds. Switch on Capital letters for retroflex sounds to type T, Th, D, Dh and N for ट ठ ड ढ ण, M for anusvara (ं) and H for visarga (ः).

Consonant clusters

When two consonants appear with no vowel between them, the converter joins them with a halant automatically, so “timro” becomes तिम्रो and “prem” becomes प्रेम. A consonant at the end of a word keeps its inherent vowel sound, as is normal in both Nepali and Hindi spelling.

Spelling

The converter maps sounds to letters by rule; it does not use a dictionary. Everyday words come out right, but some standard spellings do not follow pronunciation exactly, for example कृपया, which is written with ऋ. With capital-letter mode on, type it as “kRipayaa”. Proofread anything formal, and correct individual words if needed.

Nepali and Hindi use the same Devanagari alphabet, so both options share one conversion engine. Everything runs in your browser, which means it also works offline once the page has loaded.
