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.

My text is in Kruti Dev 055Tick this only for text typed in Kruti Dev 055. Its number keys type Hindi digits (1 is १), and some Alt codes type other letters (Alt+0131 is घ). Text in Kruti Dev 010 to 016 needs no tick.

Works with text in Kruti Dev 010, 011, 012, 014, 016 and 055, which share one keyboard. From a Word file, Word’s curly quotes and dashes and the Hindi digits of Kruti Dev 055 are read too. Kruti Dev 020 has another layout: use DevLys 020 to Unicode.

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

Why does it say Beta?

The mapping was built from the font file and every key was checked by eye, but it has not yet been compared with a real document typed in Abbasi Chanakya New. Converting the output back returns your original text, but please read anything important before you rely on it.

Some characters were left as they were. Why?

Abbasi Chanakya New has no key for a few rare signs, for example ॐ. Those are left unchanged and a note appears under the output box.

Will it work with Walkman Chanakya 901 or 905?

No. Those are separate fonts with a different layout. Text converted here will show some wrong letters in them.

Is my text uploaded?

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

Why you cannot just change the font

Kruti Dev and Abbasi Chanakya New look alike on paper but do not put every letter on the same key. Most keys match, which is why a quick font change seems to work at first glance, and then a handful of words come out wrong. Three common examples:

भ is Hk in Kruti Dev and Ò in Abbasi Chanakya New, so Hkkjr has to become Òkjr.
प्र is iz in Kruti Dev and ç in Abbasi Chanakya New.
सिं uses a single combined key in Abbasi Chanakya New, so flag becomes Çlg.

This page reads the Kruti Dev text as real Hindi first, then writes it out again with the Abbasi Chanakya New keys, so every one of those differences is handled.

After you copy

Paste the code into Word, select it and set the font to Abbasi Chanakya New. The Download .docx button does that step for you. To go back, use Abbasi Chanakya to Kruti Dev.

This is for Abbasi Chanakya New only. Walkman Chanakya and other Chanakya fonts use different keys and are not supported yet.
