Why do hundreds of millions need an online Hindi keyboard? Hindi is the 3rd most spoken language in the world with over 600 million speakers (including second language speakers). It's the official language of India and is widely spoken across South Asia and in diaspora communities worldwide. However, most computers outside India don't have Hindi keyboards installed. Our virtual keyboard provides instant access – perfect for NRIs (Non-Resident Indians), students, business professionals, and anyone communicating in Hindi.

The Devanagari script (देवनागरी) is one of India's most important writing systems, used for Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi, and Nepali. It consists of 11 vowels (स्वर), 33 consonants (व्यंजन), and numerous conjunct consonants (संयुक्ताक्षर). Our keyboard uses the official InScript layout standardized by the Indian government, making it compatible with how Hindi is typed across India. Features include matras (vowel signs), halant (्) for creating conjuncts, and the nukta (़) for sounds like ज़ and ड़.

Perfect for every Hindi typing need: Write emails and WhatsApp messages to family in India, create business documents for Indian markets, type Hindi social media posts, practice Devanagari handwriting digitally, study Hindi literature, translate texts, or simply communicate with Hindi speakers. Our keyboard supports all standard Hindi characters including Devanagari numerals (०-९) and punctuation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an online Hindi keyboard and who needs one?

An online Hindi keyboard (हिंदी कीबोर्ड) is a virtual keyboard that displays Devanagari letters on your screen, allowing you to type in Hindi by clicking or tapping the keys. It's essential for the 600+ million Hindi speakers worldwide when using computers without Hindi keyboard support – common in Western countries, workplaces, public computers, and internet cafes. NRIs (Non-Resident Indians), Hindi students, business professionals, and travelers to India all benefit from instant Hindi typing access.

What is the InScript keyboard layout?

InScript (Indian Script) is the official keyboard layout standardized by the Government of India for typing Indian languages. It places vowels on the left side and consonants on the right side of the keyboard, with a logical arrangement based on how Devanagari characters are traditionally organized. Our virtual keyboard faithfully reproduces this layout, making it familiar to anyone who has typed Hindi on Indian computers.

How do I type Hindi conjuncts (संयुक्ताक्षर) like क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ?

To create conjunct consonants (संयुक्ताक्षर), type the first consonant, then press the halant (्) key, then type the second consonant. For example: क + ् + ष = क्ष (ksha), त + ् + र = त्र (tra), ज + ् + ञ = ज्ञ (gya). The halant removes the inherent 'a' vowel and joins the consonants. This is exactly how conjuncts are typed on physical Hindi keyboards.

How do I add matras (vowel signs) to consonants?

Matras are the vowel signs that attach to consonants. After typing a consonant, simply type the corresponding vowel to add its matra. For example: क + ा = का (kaa), क + ि = कि (ki), क + ु = कु (ku), क + े = के (ke), क + ो = को (ko). The InScript layout places all vowels conveniently on the left side of the keyboard.

How do I type special sounds like ज़, फ़, ड़, ढ़?

For sounds borrowed from Urdu/Persian (like 'z' in ज़रूर) or retroflex flapped sounds (ड़, ढ़), use the nukta (़) key. Type the base consonant first, then add the nukta: ज + ़ = ज़, फ + ़ = फ़, ड + ़ = ड़, ढ + ़ = ढ़. These sounds are common in modern Hindi, especially in words borrowed from other languages.

Is this Hindi keyboard really free to use?

Absolutely free! AnyKeyboard's Hindi keyboard has no hidden costs, no registration required, no ads, and no usage limits. Type as much as you want, access all Devanagari characters, conjuncts, and matras, and use it whenever you need. We believe everyone should have access to typing in their language.

Does the Hindi keyboard work on iPhones, iPads, and Android devices?

Yes! Our Hindi 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. You can type Hindi comfortably on any device, anywhere.

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

After typing, click 'Copy' to copy your Hindi text to the clipboard – paste it anywhere (WhatsApp, emails, documents). Click 'Save' to download your text as a UTF-8 .txt file. You can also click 'Google' or 'YouTube' to search your Hindi text directly. The text will display correctly in all modern applications.

Is my Hindi typing private and secure?

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

Can I switch between Hindi and other Indian language keyboards?

Yes! AnyKeyboard supports many Indian languages including Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi (Gurmukhi), and more. Use the Layout dropdown menu to instantly switch between keyboards. Your typed text is preserved when switching. This is perfect for multilingual Indians.

Yes! Click 'Speed Test' to switch to typing practice mode. You'll see Hindi sentences to type, and the system measures your words per minute (WPM) and accuracy in real-time. It's an excellent way to improve your Hindi typing speed and master the InScript layout.

What makes Devanagari unique among writing systems?

Devanagari (देवनागरी, meaning 'divine city script') is an abugida where each consonant has an inherent 'a' vowel that can be modified with matras. The script hangs from a horizontal line called the शिरोरेखा (headline). It's one of the oldest continuously used scripts, dating back to the 7th century CE. Devanagari is used for Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and several other languages.
