Indian Language Writing

Type in English. Write in your language.

Punjabi. Hindi. Bengali. Tamil. Telugu. Gujarati. Marathi. Urdu.

Transliteration, not translation

Type "mera naam Arjun hai" and see "मेरा नाम अर्जुन है" appear in real time. You're not translating. You're writing in Hindi using the English keyboard you already know. Every word converts as you type.

This works for all eight supported scripts: Gurmukhi (Punjabi), Devanagari (Hindi, Marathi), Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, and Urdu (Nastaliq). Switch between languages mid-document if your story code-switches.

Smart engine: Google Input Tools + AI fallback + your dictionary

Primary engine is Google Input Tools API — the same technology behind Google's transliteration across its products. Fast, accurate, handles compound words and proper nouns well.

When the API returns an ambiguous result, Typewriter's AI model picks the correct script based on sentence context. And for names, places, or invented words that no engine gets right, your personal dictionary overrides everything. Add it once, it's correct forever.

Full editor, not a text box

This isn't a transliteration widget bolted onto a basic textarea. You get the full Typewriter editor: chapters, story bible, AI co-author, focus mode, export. All of it works with your Indic script text.

The AI co-author responds in your language. Ask it to continue a scene in Hindi and it writes in Hindi. Ask for character suggestions for your Punjabi novel and it responds in Punjabi. Context-aware, language-aware.

Why this matters

There are 600 million Hindi speakers. 125 million Punjabi speakers. 230 million Bengali speakers. Most novel-writing software supports exactly one language: English. If you want to write in your mother tongue, your options are Microsoft Word with a language pack or Google Docs with a Chrome extension.

Typewriter is the first dedicated novel-writing editor with native Indian language support. Not an afterthought. Not a plugin. Built into the core.
