Frequently asked questions
How do I type Urdu with an English keyboard?
Keep “Urdu keyboard ON” and type the English letter that sounds like the Urdu one: b → ب, p → پ, t → ت, s → س, k → ک. Hold Shift for the related letter, e.g. Shift+T → ٹ, Shift+D → ڈ, Shift+N → ں, Shift+H → ھ.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Tap the on-screen Urdu keys below the text box. Your phone’s own keyboard types normally, so you can mix English and Urdu.
How do I paste Urdu text into Word, WhatsApp or Facebook?
Press “Copy text” and paste it anywhere. The text is standard Unicode Urdu, so it works in all apps; in Word, choose an Urdu font such as Jameel Noori Nastaleeq or Noto Nastaliq Urdu for the best look.
Is my text saved or uploaded?
No. Everything you type stays in your browser and disappears when you close the page, so copy or download it first.
