Type Bangla online

Features

• Converts every word as you type

  While you type, a small line under the box shows the word and what it will become. Space, Enter or a punctuation mark replaces it with Bangla.

• The familiar Avro-style keys

  k ক, kh খ, T ট, O ও, rri ঋ, ng ং, kkh ক্ষ, gg জ্ঞ and the rest of the phonetic table work. A guide with every key is on the page.

• English inside Bangla

  Type {Facebook} in curly braces and the word stays in English; the braces disappear when you close them.

• Digits and the Bangla full stop

  Digits can become ০ to ৯ and a full stop after Bangla text becomes ।. Each of these can be switched off.

• Copy, download, paste

  Copy the text with one click or download it as a file. Pasting Banglish into the box converts the whole piece at once.

How to use Bangla Typing Online (Phonetic)

1. 1Click in the box and type a word the way it sounds, for example “ami”.
2. 2Press space, Enter or a punctuation mark: the word becomes Bangla.
3. 3Fix a word by deleting letters; deleting never converts anything.

Supported formats

Turn phonetic typing off to type normally, for example to write a whole English paragraph.

Limits and things to know

• This is a web page, not a keyboard. It works only in the box on this page; to type Bangla in other apps, copy the text from here.
• The rules are phonetic: some words need a small change, such as O for ো or ` between two consonants that must not join.
• The smart-spelling list covers only very common words; other words follow the plain rules where “o” is silent.
• Auto-correct and word suggestions of phone keyboards can interfere with typing. The box turns them off where the browser allows it.
• The text is not saved. If you close the page it is gone, so copy or download what you want to keep.

Privacy and processing

Your typing is converted by JavaScript in your browser. The text is not saved and not sent to FilesKit, which has no server that receives text or files.

Common uses

• Write messages and posts

  Compose a Bangla message, comment or post on a computer without a Bangla keyboard.

• Draft documents

  Write the text of a letter, application or article, then paste it into Word or Google Docs.

• Practise typing

  Learn the phonetic keys and see at once how each letter and conjunct is written.

• Work on a shared computer

  Type Bangla on a computer where you cannot install a keyboard or an extra program.

How this differs from other approaches

The Avro Keyboard, Google Input Tools and operating-system keyboards let you type Bangla inside any program, but they need installing or settings, and some send what you type to a server. This page covers the common case, typing in a box, with no setup.
