English to Bengali Typing
Basic phonetic engine — the common-word dictionary for this language is growing. Spell tricky words out phonetically (long vowels written double).

WorldTyping’s free English to Bengali typing tool converts Bengali words written in English letters into Bengali script as you type — no installation, no account, and nothing leaves your browser.
How to type in Bengali
- Type Bengali words phonetically in the left box using English letters — for example tumi.
- The Bengali script text appears instantly in the right box: তুমি.
- Copy it, share it, download it, or print it.
Examples
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
| tumi | তুমি |
| bhalo | ভালো |
| naam | নাম |
| dhonnobad | ধন্যবাদ |
Known words are exact; the rest is rules
It helps to know what kind of tool this is. A short list of common words is stored as exact spellings, and everything else is converted letter by letter by rule.
The difference is visible. dhonnobad gives ধন্যবাদ — the correct spelling, straight from the list. A variant like dhonnobaad falls through to the rules and produces ধোন্নোবাদ, which is what those letters literally say rather than what the word is.
Practical consequence: for greetings and everyday words, type the most ordinary spelling you can think of. That is the one most likely to be recognised.
Double the long vowels
bhaalo gives ভালো. Casual Roman spelling does not record vowel length, so doubling — aa, ee, oo — is how you say which vowel you meant. It is the single change that most improves the output.
Endings lose their vowel, as Bengali does
Bengali deletes the inherent vowel at the end of a word, so words finish on a bare consonant rather than a written virama. The tool follows that rule without being told.
It is worth noticing because the neighbouring Dravidian scripts do the opposite — Telugu writes the virama. Same engine, different rule per script, and the reason a Bengali ending looks different from a Telugu one.

Common problems
- A word comes out with the wrong spelling — try typing it phonetically a different way, or edit the output directly.
- Juktakkhor (conjunct letters) may not form as expected for uncommon words — the on-screen keyboard gives exact control.
- Long vowels need to be written out ("bhalo" not "bholo") to match common spellings.
Copy & paste
Output is standard Unicode Bangla — select and copy it directly into Facebook, WhatsApp, or Word, it renders correctly everywhere.
On mobile
Works in your phone's browser with no app install; phonetic typing is often quicker than switching to a Bangla mobile keyboard.
Frequently asked questions
Why is one spelling perfect and a similar one not?
Because common words are stored as exact entries and everything else is converted by rule. dhonnobad gives ধন্যবাদ exactly; a variant spelling falls through to the rules and comes out approximately. When a word matters, try the most ordinary spelling first — that is the one most likely to be a known entry.
How do I get the long vowels and ও?
Double the vowel: bhaalo gives ভালো. Bengali vowel length is not recorded by casual Roman spelling, so doubling is how you tell the tool which vowel you meant.
Do word endings drop their vowel?
Yes. Bengali follows the Indo-Aryan pattern of deleting the final inherent vowel, so a word ends in a bare consonant rather than a written virama. The tool applies that automatically — it is the opposite of what Tamil or Telugu do.
Is this a translator?
No. It is transliteration — it converts sounds into Bengali script. Type Bengali phonetically and you get Bengali; type English and you get English spelled in Bengali letters.
Can I paste the Bengali text into WhatsApp or Word?
Yes. It is standard Unicode Bengali, so it pastes into WhatsApp, Word, Google Docs, Gmail or a web form with no font to install.
