Phonetic, not keyboard

About the Roman to Nepali Unicode Converter
This free online Roman to Nepali Unicode converter turns English letters into Devanagari as you type. There is no Nepali keyboard to install and no new layout to learn — you just type the way the words sound: mero ghar becomes मेरो घर. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so the page stays private and works offline once loaded.
Roman typing matters because most people on phones and shared computers do not have a Devanagari keyboard. The converter reads each roman syllable — m, e, r, o — and maps it to the matching Nepali letter, handling aspirated consonants like kh, gh and chh plus retroflex pairs like t/th and d/dh, so words come out the way a Nepali speaker expects. No conversion is perfect for every name, so both panes stay editable and you can correct any letter directly.
There is no sign-up, no character limit and nothing to install. Paste a sentence, an essay or a full document, and the Unicode Devanagari appears instantly in the output pane, ready to copy into messages, documents or the web. Because everything runs on your device, the tool also works offline once the page has loaded.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I type Nepali in English letters?
Just type the way the words sound. Every roman letter maps to a Devanagari letter — m for म, e for ए, and so on — and the converter joins them into whole words as you type. For example, typing "mero ghar" produces "मेरो घर" with no extra setup or keyboard layout to install.
How to convert Roman Nepali to Unicode?
Type or paste romanised Nepali into the left pane and the Unicode Devanagari appears instantly in the right pane. Both panes stay in sync, so you can also paste Devanagari and see the roman form. Click "Copy result" when you are done and paste the text anywhere you like.
Does the Roman to Nepali converter work on my phone?
Yes. The tool runs entirely in your browser, so it works on any phone, tablet or computer. Just open the page and start typing with your regular keyboard — no Nepali keyboard app needs to be installed.
How does the converter handle letters like kh, chh and t/th?
Nepali has aspirated and retroflex sounds that English does not spell out. The converter recognises two-letter roman groups such as kh for ख, gh for घ, chh for छ and the retroflex t/th and d/dh pairs, and produces the correct Devanagari character.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser and nothing you type is uploaded, stored or logged. The page even keeps working offline once it has loaded, and the source code is open for anyone to inspect.
