Questions about typing Kannada

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

Open this page and start typing. Each key on your keyboard is turned into the Kannada 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.

What is InScript?

InScript is the standard keyboard layout for Indian scripts, set by the Government of India. Vowels are on the left side of the keyboard and consonants on the right, and the layout works the same way for all the major Indian scripts, so once you learn it for one language you can type the others.

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.
