Ελληνικά Greek keyboard

About the Greek keyboard

Greek is written in its own 24-letter alphabet. This layout matches the standard Greek keyboard, and the accent key (΄) to the right of L adds the tonos to vowels, as in ά and ή.

Greek characters and their keys

Each box shows a key on a US (QWERTY) keyboard, the Greek character it types, and in grey the character it types with Shift.

Questions about typing Greek

How do I type Greek on a computer without a Greek keyboard?

Open this page and start typing. Each key on your keyboard is turned into the Greek character in the same position, as shown in the table above, so you don't need to change any settings. On a phone or tablet, tap the keys on screen.

How do I type accented letters?

Press an accent key (΄ ¨ ΅), then a letter. For example, ΄ then α gives ά. The accent keys have an orange border on the on-screen keyboard.

How do I type symbols such as € and @?

Hold the right Alt key (AltGr), or Option on a Mac, and press the key with the orange character, for example 2 → ², 3 → ³, E → €. On screen, press the AltGr key first.

Can I paste the text into other apps?

Yes. Press Copy, then paste it into an email, a document, a search box or a chat. You can also save it as a .txt file, or send it to Google Search or Google Translate with one click.

Is my text saved or sent anywhere?

Your text stays in this browser on your device and is kept for your next visit. It is only sent somewhere if you press the Google Search or Translate button.
