Hindi-English transliteration can mean two different things: turning Devanagari into Latin letters, or typing Devanagari from Roman spelling.
This page does both. It opens in Hindi to English so you can romanize Devanagari, and a direction control switches it to English to Hindi typing.
How to use Hindi English Transliteration
- Choose a direction at the top: Hindi to English or English to Hindi.
- Paste or type the source script in the left panel.
- Review the phonetic result and copy it from the right panel.
Use cases
- Read Hindi names by romanizing Devanagari.
- Keep bilingual notes with both scripts.
- Produce search-friendly Roman Hindi from Devanagari.
Good to know
The virama suppresses the inherent vowel between consonants, and vowel signs reorder visually around the consonant, so both directions are approximate. Review names, since transliteration matches sound, not meaning.
Frequently asked questions
How do I pick the direction?
Use the direction control at the top. Hindi to English romanizes Devanagari, and English to Hindi types Devanagari from Roman spelling.
How are matras and the virama handled?
Vowel signs map to vowels and the virama joins consonants by removing the inherent a, so clusters convert in both directions.
Does this translate between Hindi and English?
No. It changes the script phonetically in either direction; it does not translate Hindi and English meaning.
