Convert a document

Your file never leaves your computer.

How to use

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

Tip:Lines with शक्ति are the quickest check: New Delhi types it as ’kfDr, and the right-hand box should show शक्ति.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it say Beta?
Every key was drawn from the New Delhi 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 New Delhi 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 New Delhi text is

New Delhi 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 New Delhi differs from Kruti Dev

  • = is half त्र. i=k is पत्र.
  • Half श is on the curly apostrophe. ’kfDr is शक्ति. Word types ’ for the apostrophe key, and the Bold styles also draw श on the straight '. Both are read.
  • No Hindi digits. Numbers stay as 0 to 9.

NewDelhi in Normal, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic was drawn and checked. For the other direction use Unicode to New Delhi. For text typed in Kruti Dev itself, use Kruti Dev to Unicode.
