Urdu is written right-to-left in the Perso-Arabic script, traditionally in the flowing Nastaliq style. Use the on-screen keyboard for letters like ٹ, ڈ, ڑ and ے, or dictate with voice typing — the workspace handles right-to-left text correctly.

Frequently asked questions
How does English to Urdu typing work?
Type Urdu words the way they sound, using English (Roman) letters, and the tool converts them into Perso-Arabic (Nastaliq) as you type. You can then copy, download, print, or share the text.
Is this a translator?
No — this is transliteration, not translation. It converts the sounds you type into Perso-Arabic (Nastaliq) script. To get Urdu words, type Urdu phonetically; English sentences are not translated.
Is it free? Do I need to sign up?
Completely free, no account needed. Your text is processed in your browser and autosaved locally — nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Can I use the Urdu text in WhatsApp, Gmail, or Word?
Yes. The output is standard Unicode Urdu, which works everywhere — WhatsApp, social media, Gmail, MS Word, Google Docs, and official documents.
