Phonetic typing and Unicode text

The built-in phonetic engine handles common letter patterns locally in your browser. It is not the Google Input Tools engine and does not translate the meaning of English sentences. Names and uncommon words may need correction. The results are Unicode text suitable for supported word processors, emails and messaging apps.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Pashto Keyboard FAQ

Answers to common questions about typing, saving and copying Pashto text online.

How do I type Pashto online?

Choose Phonetic mode and type the sound with English letters. For example, salam produces سلام. You can switch to Direct mode if you already use a Pashto keyboard.

Does this Pashto keyboard convert English letters automatically?

Phonetic mode applies local input rules to English letters. It is not the same as a dictionary-powered language IME, so words with unusual spellings may need correction.

Can I use the Pashto keyboard on mobile?

Yes. The editor works on modern mobile browsers. If your phone already supports the language, you can type directly using the system keyboard.

Can I copy or download my Pashto writing?

Yes. Use Copy text to paste your Unicode text into another application, or Download .txt to save it as a UTF-8 file.

Does typing in Pashto translate English text?

No. A phonetic keyboard changes how words are written; translation changes what the words mean. Use a separate translator when you need a translation.
