Devanagari Keyboard is a tool for writing in Hindi (Devanagari) on any device. It has three sections — Keyboard, Notepad and Train. This page explains how to use each one.

Keyboard

The Keyboard page lets you type Devanagari text quickly and discard it when done. Use the on-screen keyboard (on phones or with a mouse) or just type on a regular English keyboard — the letters are converted to Devanagari automatically.

Notepad

The Notepad lets you compose longer, formatted notes and save them. Notes are private to your account and are stored on the server under your email. You can create, edit and delete notes.

Menu

The top menu has icons for Home, Notepad, Keyboard, Train and Help. Use them to move between sections at any time.

Editor Toolbar

Above the note editor there is a toolbar with: Save, Copy, Paste, Dictate (microphone), Header, Bold, Italics and Preview. The formatting buttons work on the selected text using Markdown.

Key Map

The on-screen keyboard maps Devanagari letters to English keys. Hover a key to see its English shortcut, or open the Keyboard Map on the Keyboard page for the full chart.

Keyboard Shortcuts

You can type with a normal English keyboard: most letters map directly to Devanagari, while special letters use Alt combinations (for example Alt-a for आ). Numpad keys 1–4 insert the shown word suggestions, and Ctrl+S saves the note.

Word Suggestions

As you type, four word suggestions appear. Tap one (or press Numpad 1–4) to complete the word. Unknown words can be learned using the Train section.

Auto-Save

While editing a note, your changes are saved automatically every 30 seconds in the background. A small notification shows when a save (or auto-save) completes. Blank notes are not saved.

Deleting Notes

On the Notepad page, click the × button on a note to delete it. You will be asked to confirm, because deleting cannot be undone.

Training

The Train section adds new words to the suggestion dictionary. Paste or type Hindi text and press Train New Words — any words not already known are saved and will then appear as suggestions while typing.
