About MyKrutiDev

Why this site exists

MyKrutiDev began in a startup office, where part of the daily work of Vikas Rathore was turning ordinary Hindi documents into Kruti Dev. The converters available then were slow, cluttered and hard to use, and people in the office were frustrated, with work still not getting done. So the converter on this site was built for that job, and it is still used for it. Colleagues from that office use it for office drafts and government forms, and people who work in courts have used it too.

What we make

We make converters between Kruti Dev, DevLys, Mangal and Unicode, a Hindi typing tutor with timed tests on the Remington layout, an on-screen Hindi keyboard, English to Hindi typing, printable charts and guides to the problems people bring us. Everything is free and needs no account.

How we check it

Hindi conversion goes wrong in small, costly ways: the short-i matra on the wrong side of its consonant, a reph on the wrong syllable, a conjunct split in two. So every rule in the converters is tested against real documents and against the fonts themselves. The Kruti Dev keyboard chart is read out of the Kruti Dev 010 font file, key by key, and more than a thousand automated tests run before any change goes live. A font pair that has not been verified is marked as coming soon rather than guessed at.

Your text stays on your computer

The converters and the typing tutor run entirely in your browser. What you paste or type is not uploaded, logged or stored by us. The one feature that uses an outside service is English to Hindi typing in Hinglish mode, which asks Google's input service how to spell each word. The privacy policy sets out exactly what that means.

Who we are

MyKrutiDev is independently developed and maintained by Vikas Rathore. We are not affiliated with the makers of Kruti Dev, DevLys, Chanakya or Mangal, or with any exam body. To report a wrong conversion or suggest a feature, contact us.
