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.

The result is for Kruti Dev 010, 011, 012, 014 or 016: set one of them as the font in Word. Hindi digits are written with Kruti Dev’s Alt-code characters.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Will the converted text look the same in Kruti Dev?

Yes. Both fonts draw the same letter on every key that Hindi text uses, so the words read the same once the font is set to Kruti Dev 010.

My computer shows English letters after pasting. What went wrong?

Nothing. That is Kruti Dev code. Select it and choose Kruti Dev 010 as the font, and it turns into Hindi. If the font is not in the list, it is not installed on that computer.

Which Kruti Dev version should I pick?

Kruti Dev 010 is the one exams and most offices ask for. The other numbered versions use the same keys with different letter shapes, so the code works in any of them.

Is anything sent to a server?

No. All the work happens in your browser, and the page keeps working offline after it has loaded once.

When you need this

Plenty of offices standardised on Kruti Dev 010 years ago, and a file typed in DevLys 010 still turns up from another department or an outside typist. Both fonts are built on the same Remington-style layout, so the Hindi itself does not need to be retyped.

The two font files were compared key by key: every key that typed Hindi uses draws the same letter in both. The output therefore keeps your text exactly as it is, key for key, and you finish the job by setting the font to Kruti Dev 010.

Three checks before you send the file

Look at Preview (Hindi). If a word looks broken there, that part of your text was not DevLys code.
Make sure the receiving computer has Kruti Dev 010 installed. Without it the text shows as English letters such as fgUnh.
If the file is going to a website, an email or a phone, send Unicode instead with DevLys to Unicode.

For the reverse direction, use Kruti Dev to DevLys.
