- Paste it into the Ruchi 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 Ruchi text where it is needed. In Word, set it in a Unicode font such as Mangal or Nirmala UI.
Tip:Lines with राष्ट्र are the quickest check: Ruchi types it as jkþz, and the right-hand box should show राष्ट्र.
