How to Type Hindi on a Laptop (लैपटॉप में हिंदी टाइपिंग कैसे करें)

Windows 11, 10 और Mac में हिंदी कीबोर्ड एक्टिवेट करने का पूरा तरीका

Learn how to activate built-in Hindi phonetic typing on any Windows 10, Windows 11, or Apple MacBook laptop. Once enabled, you can type in Hindi across any desktop software, browser, or game with a single keyboard shortcut.

For Windows Laptops (Windows 11 & Windows 10)

१

Open Language Settings on Windows 10 / 11 (विंडोज लैंग्वेज सेटिंग्स खोलें)

Press Windows Key + I on your keyboard to open Settings. Click on 'Time & Language' in the sidebar, then click on 'Language & Region' (or 'Language').

२

Add Hindi Language & Install Hindi Phonetic (हिंदी फोनेटिक कीबोर्ड जोड़ें)

Click the 'Add a language' button. Search for 'Hindi' (हिन्दी) and click Next > Install. Once Hindi is installed, click the three dots (...) next to Hindi and select 'Language options'.

  • Under the 'Keyboards' section, click 'Add a keyboard'.
  • Select 'Hindi Phonetic' from the list (this enables English-to-Hindi transliteration).
  • Remove or keep the default Inscript keyboard depending on your preference.
Pro Tip: Hindi Phonetic is the key layout you want — it enables typing 'namaste' to automatically produce 'नमस्ते'.
३

Toggle Between English & Hindi with Win+Space (Win + Space से तुरंत भाषा बदलें)

Whenever you need to type in Hindi anywhere on your laptop (Chrome, Word, Excel, Notepad, WhatsApp Web), press Windows Key + Spacebar. The language badge in your taskbar will toggle between ENG and HIN.

For Apple MacBook & Mac (macOS)

१

Open macOS Keyboard Settings (मैक कीबोर्ड सेटिंग्स खोलें)

Click the Apple () menu in the top-left corner of your Mac screen and choose 'System Settings' (or 'System Preferences'). In the sidebar, select 'Keyboard'.

२

Add Devanagari - Phonetic Input Source (देवनागरी फोनेटिक इनपुट जोड़ें)

Under 'Text Input', click 'Edit...' next to Input Sources. Click the plus (+) button at the bottom of the list. Search for 'Hindi' in the left pane.

  • Select 'Devanagari - Phonetic' (or 'Hindi - Transliteration').
  • Click 'Add' to enable the keyboard.
  • Check the box for 'Show Input menu in menu bar'.
३

Switch Input on Mac with Shortcut (Control + Space से भाषा बदलें)

Press Control + Spacebar (or Fn / Globe key on newer Apple Silicon MacBooks) to cycle between your English and Hindi input sources. A flag or character indicator will appear in your top macOS menu bar.

Frequently Asked Questions

No! If you use the Phonetic layout (or our FastHindiTyping.com website), you type using the standard English QWERTY keyboard letters you are already accustomed to. Stickers are only helpful if you are learning the mechanical InScript layout for government exams. (बिना स्टीकर के सामान्य अंग्रेजी कीबोर्ड से आसानी से टाइप करें।)

Ensure that you added the keyboard layout under Hindi options. Sometimes Windows downloads the Hindi language pack without adding the 'Hindi Phonetic' keyboard sub-layout. Check Settings > Time & Language > Language > Hindi > Language Options > Keyboards. (सेटिंग्स में 'Hindi Phonetic' कीबोर्ड को अलग से जोड़ना जरूरी है।)

Yes. On ChromeOS, go to Settings > Advanced > Languages and inputs > Inputs > Add input methods > Search for Hindi > select 'Hindi (Phonetic)'. Use Ctrl + Shift + Space to toggle languages.
