Roman Urdu and right-to-left text
Enter Urdu pronunciation with English letters: aap kaise hain produces آپ کیسے ہیں. The editor and its Urdu suggestions use right-to-left direction. Roman input and numbers retain their own direction within the line.
Roman Urdu has several spellings for the same sound. Urdu also has distinct letters that can sound similar. Review the suggestions for names and formal writing instead of relying on pronunciation alone.
The text contains Unicode Urdu characters. Nastaliq is the font style used to display them here. If the text appears in a different style after copying, choose an Urdu font in the destination and set the paragraph direction to right to left.
Editing and saving your text
Choose a suggestion with the up and down arrows, or tap it on a phone. Escape keeps the current word in Roman letters. On a hardware keyboard, Backspace immediately after a converted word lets you revise its Roman spelling.
The editor accepts up to 20,000 characters. Conversion runs locally after the selected language files load. Copy and TXT download preserve Unicode text, punctuation and line breaks. Check spellings before using the result in a document.
Urdu typing questions
Will copying preserve the Nastaliq font?
Copy and TXT download preserve the Urdu text, not a font. The destination chooses its own font. Select a Nastaliq font there if you want the same style, and use right-to-left paragraph direction.

Yes. You can type, choose word suggestions, copy the output and download a TXT file without an account.
Can I use it on a phone?
Open the editor in your mobile browser and use the English keyboard. Press Space to finish a word or tap a suggestion. Keep the page open while the selected language files load.
