Why do millions of people need an online Greek keyboard? Greek is spoken by 13 million people, primarily in Greece and Cyprus, with large diaspora communities in Australia, USA, Germany, and Canada. The Greek alphabet is also essential for mathematics, science, and engineering (π, Σ, Δ, Ω are used globally). Most computers outside Greece don't have Greek keyboards installed. Our virtual keyboard provides instant access – perfect for Greek expatriates, students learning Greek, scientists needing Greek symbols, and lovers of ancient Greek civilization.

The Greek alphabet is the oldest alphabet still in continuous use, dating back to around 800 BCE. It was the first alphabet to include vowels and is the ancestor of both Latin (used in English) and Cyrillic (used in Russian) alphabets. Modern Greek uses 24 letters: Α Β Γ Δ Ε Ζ Η Θ Ι Κ Λ Μ Ν Ξ Ο Π Ρ Σ Τ Υ Φ Χ Ψ Ω. Our keyboard includes the tonos (΄) accent mark for indicating stress, the dialytika (¨) for separating vowels, and the special final sigma (ς) used at the end of words.

Perfect for every Greek typing need: Write emails to Greek family, compose documents in Greek, study Ancient Greek texts, use Greek letters in mathematical formulas (α, β, γ, δ, π, σ, Σ), chat on Greek social media, translate texts, or explore the rich heritage of Greek philosophy, literature, and democracy that shaped Western civilization.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an online Greek keyboard and who needs one?

An online Greek keyboard (Ελληνικό Πληκτρολόγιο) is a virtual keyboard that displays Greek letters on your screen, allowing you to type in Greek without installing any software. It's essential for the 13 million Greek speakers worldwide, Greek diaspora communities, students of Greek language or ancient history, scientists and mathematicians who use Greek symbols, and anyone interested in Greek culture or traveling to Greece.

How do I add the tonos (΄) accent to Greek letters?

The tonos (΄) indicates which syllable is stressed in Greek words – it's essential for correct spelling. On our keyboard, press the tonos dead key (΄) before the vowel you want to accent: ά, έ, ή, ί, ό, ύ, ώ. For dialytika with tonos (΅), use the combination key. Modern Greek uses the monotonic system with only the tonos accent, making it simpler than ancient polytonic Greek.

What is the final sigma (ς) and when do I use it?

Greek has two forms of sigma: Σ/σ used at the beginning and middle of words, and ς used only at the end of words. For example: 'cosmos' is written κόσμος (note the final ς). Our keyboard places final sigma on a dedicated key, just like physical Greek keyboards. The system doesn't auto-correct this, so remember to use ς at word endings.

Can I type Greek letters for math and science (α, β, γ, π, Σ)?

Yes! Our Greek keyboard is perfect for typing mathematical and scientific notation. Access alpha (α), beta (β), gamma (γ), delta (Δ/δ), pi (π), sigma (Σ/σ), omega (Ω/ω), and all other Greek letters used in formulas, physics equations, statistics, and engineering. Copy and paste them directly into your documents.

Is this Greek keyboard really free to use?

Absolutely free! AnyKeyboard's Greek keyboard has no hidden costs, no registration required, no ads, and no usage limits. Type as much Greek as you want with all letters, accents, and symbols. Perfect for Greek homework, communicating with family in Greece, or scientific writing.

Yes! Our Greek keyboard is fully responsive and works perfectly on all mobile devices – iPhones, iPads, Android phones, and tablets. The touch targets are optimized for finger tapping, and the layout adapts to your screen size. Type Greek comfortably on any device, anywhere.

How do I copy, save, or search my Greek text?

After typing, click 'Copy' to copy your Greek text to the clipboard – paste it anywhere (emails, documents, math papers). Click 'Save' to download your text as a UTF-8 .txt file. You can also click 'Google' or 'YouTube' to search your Greek text directly on those platforms.

Is my Greek typing private and secure?

100% private. All typing happens locally in your browser – your Greek text is never sent to any server and never stored online. Your text exists only on your device until you close the tab. Only your theme preference and last selected layout are saved locally.

Can I switch between Greek and other language keyboards?

Yes! AnyKeyboard supports 100+ languages including Ancient Greek (polytonic), Cyrillic languages, and Latin-based languages. Use the Layout dropdown menu to instantly switch between keyboards. This is particularly useful for comparing Greek with derived scripts or for multilingual documents.

Can I practice Greek typing and measure my speed?

Yes! Click 'Speed Test' to switch to typing practice mode. You'll see Greek sentences to type, and the system measures your speed and accuracy in real-time. It's an excellent way to learn the Greek keyboard layout and improve your Greek typing fluency.

What's the difference between Modern Greek and Ancient Greek keyboards?

Modern Greek uses the monotonic system with only the tonos (΄) accent. Ancient Greek (polytonic) uses multiple accent marks: acute (ά), grave (ὰ), circumflex (ᾶ), rough breathing (ἁ), and smooth breathing (ἀ). AnyKeyboard offers both layouts. Our standard Greek keyboard is monotonic (modern); switch to polytonic if you're studying Classical or Biblical Greek.

Why is the Greek alphabet important historically?

The Greek alphabet revolutionized writing by being the first to include vowels alongside consonants (around 800 BCE). It was adapted from Phoenician script and became the basis for Latin (A B C), Cyrillic (А Б В), and other alphabets. Greek letters are also used globally in mathematics (π, Σ, Δ), science, fraternities, and more – making it one of humanity's most influential inventions.
