Turkish Keyboard in detail
Type Turkish with its special letters from a regular keyboard: “turkiye” becomes Türkiye with the correct dotted İ and ğ. The Turkish Keyboard (Türkçe klavye) covers the Latin script as used across Turkey & Cyprus. Text flows left to right in the editor, and every character below belongs to the authentic Latin repertoire — no transliterated approximations once you use the virtual keys.
This keyboard works in direct mode: every key inserts exactly the Latin character printed on it, with Shift and AltGr layers for capitals, variants and extended characters.
The page ships 2 built-in variants — Türkçe Q (Turkish Q layout (most common).); Türkçe F (Traditional Turkish F layout.) — switchable without reloading. Your text never leaves the browser: copy it to any app, export it, listen to it with the tr-TR speech voice, or send it to Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, Translate, DuckDuckGo.

Direct typing with Shift and AltGr
This keyboard has no phonetic engine, and that is deliberate: Latin spelling maps cleanly onto its own keys. Click a key — or press its physical counterpart with the hardware toggle on — and the exact character appears. Capitals and common variants live on Shift (46 characters), extended and rare forms on AltGr (0 characters).
Dead keys are enabled, so accents compose naturally: press the accent, then the vowel. On mobile, everything is tappable at full key size, and the editor keeps left to right ordering correct even when you mix Latin with Latin words or digits in the same sentence.
Getting the most out of this keyboard
Start with the Türkçe Q variant if you are unsure: Turkish Q layout (most common). You can switch variants mid-text without losing what you typed.
Latin runs left to right, so mixing it with in-line Latin terms, brand names or URLs just works: the editor keeps each run in its own direction without manual markers.
For pronunciation, press the speaker button: the tr-TR voice reads exactly what is in the editor, which makes this page a practical dictation and shadowing tool. Export the text first if you want to rehearse offline.
Preferred typefaces here are Noto Sans, Segoe UI (fallback Noto Sans). If a character shows as a box on your device, switch fonts in the toolbar — complex-script shaping varies between systems, especially on older phones.
Hidden characters tour
Beyond the base alphabet, this keyboard hides real value on its upper layers. On Shift: ! ' ^ + % & / ( ) = ? _ Q W E R T Y U I O P Äž Ãœ …. On AltGr: . Hold the on-screen Shift or AltGr key (or your physical one in hardware mode) to reach them, exactly like a desktop layout.
