Your text

Type or paste — Preeti, Unicode, or plain English letters

Standard Unicode Devanagari

Roman typing cheat sheet

Double a vowel for the long form: a→अ, aa→आ, i→इ, ii/ee→ई, u→उ, oo→ऊ. Aspirated consonants: kh, gh, chh, jh, th, dh, ph, bh. Retroflex sounds use a "2": t2, d2, n2, sh2 → ट, ड, ण, ष. "x" is a shortcut for छ. ksha/gya are typed whole for क्ष/ज्ञ. Case doesn't matter.

kh, gh aspirated
chh, jh aspirated
t2, d2, n2 retroflex
sh2 → ष
x → छ
ksha, gya whole
namasteनमस्ते
ke chha hajurके छ हजुर
mero naamमेरो नाम
timro gharतिम्रो घर
bro k chha, office aaudai chhabro के छ, office आउँदै छ

Typing casually with English words mixed in — "bro", "office", "tax", "please call me" — is handled automatically: those words stay in English instead of turning into nonsense Devanagari. Turn this off with "Convert everything" above if you ever want every word forced through Nepali.

Which fonts are supported

  • Preeti — supported, checked against reference conversions
  • Kantipur — not yet, mapping unverified
  • Kalimati — not yet, mapping unverified

Shipping a guessed Devanagari mapping would do more harm than not having it. Send a short Kantipur or Kalimati sample with its correct Unicode text on WhatsApp and we'll build and verify it the same way Preeti was done.

How to Use

Get readable Nepali text in four simple steps

1

Paste or type

Drop in broken Preeti text, type Nepali phonetically with English letters, or paste normal Unicode — any format works.

2

Auto-detect kicks in

The tool identifies whether it's Preeti, Roman typing, or already Unicode, and converts it live as you type.

3

Correct if needed

Guessed wrong? Force Roman, Preeti, or Unicode manually, or choose whether mixed English words stay as-is.

4

Copy or download

Grab the Unicode result with one click, download it as a .txt file, or get the Preeti version back for old software.
