Keep English words and numbers unchangedWhile this is ticked, dates, numbers and percentages are kept as they are, and English words are detected and kept. URLs and email addresses are never changed. Detection is a best guess: because a legacy font stores Hindi as plain ASCII, an unusual proper noun can still slip through.

Please review the output. Matra order and the common conjuncts (क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र) are handled, but rare characters in very old documents may still differ. Nothing you type is uploaded. This page converts entirely inside your browser.

How to use

Copy the text out of your Agra document. It may show as English letters, which is fine.
Paste it into the Agra box. Unicode Hindi appears on the right. For a whole Word file with its bold, italic and tables, use Upload Word file instead.
Press Copy text and paste the converted Agra text where it is needed. In Word, set it in a Unicode font such as Mangal or Nirmala UI.

Tip:Lines with पत्र are the quickest check: Agra types it as i=k, and the right-hand box should show पत्र.

Good to know

In this font the colon in a heading such as विषय: is typed with the visarga key. It converts to the visarga ः, which looks like a colon but is a different character. If a portal or a search needs a real colon, replace it.

How Agra compares with Kruti Dev

Agra types 144 of the 152 keys of Kruti Dev the same way. Keys with a different letter: 3. Keys only Agra has: 24. That is why many documents convert alike in both, and why the keys below are worth knowing. All of it is read from the same key maps the converter uses.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it say Beta?

Every key was drawn from the Agra font file and read by eye, and converted sentences were drawn back in the font itself to check they read correctly. It has not yet been run on a real office document, so please read anything important before you rely on it.

Can I use a Kruti Dev converter instead?

Most keys are the same, but not the ones listed above, and a Kruti Dev converter gets exactly those letters wrong. This page reads them the way Agra draws them.

What happens to English words and numbers?

With the checkbox under the boxes ticked, numbers, dates and common English words stay as they are. Web and email addresses are always kept.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.

What Agra text is

Agra is a Hindi font typed on the Kruti Dev keyboard. Like Kruti Dev, it stores Hindi as keyboard characters, so on a computer without the font भारत shows up as Hkkjr. This page turns those characters into real Unicode Hindi, which works everywhere.

How Agra differs from Kruti Dev

= is half त्र. i=k is पत्र.
Brackets on ¿ and À. Kruti Dev's ready-made conjuncts in the upper range are not in Agra at all.
Hindi digits on the Alt-code keys. The number keys stay 0 to 9.

This page is for the regular Agra file. Agra Bold, Agra Wide and Agra Thin type त्र on = as Kruti Dev does, so they need a different map and are not covered yet. For the other direction use Unicode to Agra. For text typed in Kruti Dev itself, use Kruti Dev to Unicode.
