How do I use the Kannada virtual keyboard?

Open the clavier-kannada page, click the on-screen keys or type on your physical keyboard. Text appears in the editor below instantly. Use the toolbar to copy, print, export or search your Kannada text. No installation is required — everything runs in your browser.

Can I type in Kannada without a physical Kannada keyboard?

Yes. Enable "Phonetic" (transliteration) mode, type Kannada words using English letters (for example "marhaban" becomes "مرحبا" on the Arabic keyboard) and the smart engine converts them to Kannada in real time.

Completely free, no sign-up and no ads overlay. The keyboard runs 100% in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.

Does it work on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes. The virtual keyboard is fully touch-optimized and responsive, and the editor supports autocomplete and speech-to-text on Android and iOS.

How do I disable the transliteration mode?

Use the "Phonetic" toggle in the toolbar. When off, clicking keys inserts the exact Kannada letter shown on each key.

What are the Kannada variants (phonetique, inscript)?

Each variant adds a button in the header: "phonetique" and "inscript". They enable extra layers such as diacritics, vowel marks or specialized phonetic layouts on top of the standard keyboard.
