How do I use the Sanskrit virtual keyboard?

Open the clavier-sanskrit 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 Devanagari text. No installation is required — everything runs in your browser.

Can I type in Devanagari without a physical Sanskrit keyboard?

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

Is the Sanskrit free?

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 Devanagari letter shown on each key.

What are the Sanskrit 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.
