English to Nepali Typing Tool
Welcome to the easiest and most accurate English to Nepali Typing tool. This free utility allows you to type Nepali words phonetically using your standard English keyboard. As you type, our advanced system instantly converts your English letters into the correct Nepali Devanagari script.
How Does English to Nepali Typing Work?
This tool uses a method called phonetic transliteration. This means you type the sounds of Nepali words using English characters, and the software intelligently converts them into Nepali letters (Devanagari script). For example, typing “namaste” will instantly produce “नमस्ते”.
This is the fastest and most intuitive way to type in Nepali. You do not need to learn a complex Nepali keyboard layout, such as “Nepali Traditional” or “Romanized Nepali”. Simply type what you hear, and our tool does the rest. It’s perfect for writing quick emails, social media posts, or official documents in the Nepali language.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How can I type in Nepali without installing a Nepali keyboard?
You are using the solution right now! This tool uses phonetic transliteration. You just type the Nepali word using English letters (e.g., namaste) and our tool converts it to Devanagari script (नमस्ते) instantly. No installation or complex keyboard settings are needed.
2. How do I type half-letters (Adha Akshar) and compound letters (Juktakshyar)?
Our tool handles this automatically based on standard Devanagari rules.
Half-letters: Just type the consonant without an ‘a’ after it. For example, typing nam gives नम्, and then typing namaste gives नमस्ते.
Compound letters: Simply type the consonants one after another. For example, typing pr gives प्र, and shram gives श्रम.
