What is Roman Urdu?
Roman Urdu is Urdu written with English letters, as most people do in WhatsApp messages, comments and texts. It's quick to type, but for letters, posts, invitations, school work and official notices you often need proper Urdu script. This tool converts it for you, with no Urdu keyboard needed.
Examples
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
| Assalam o alaikum, aap kaise hain? | السلام علیکم، آپ کیسے ہیں؟ |
| Main theek hoon, shukriya. | میں ٹھیک ہوں، شکریہ۔ |
| Kal hum Lahore ja rahe hain, inshallah. | کل ہم لاہور جا رہے ہیں، ان شاء اللہ۔ |
| Ammi ne khana banaya, bohat mazedar tha. | امی نے کھانا بنایا، بہت مزیدار تھا۔ |
Tips for the best results
- Use common spellings: "hai", "nahi" and "bohat" are all recognised, along with many variations.
- Use capital letters for hard sounds: type a capital T, D or R for ٹ، ڈ and ڑ, for example "beTa" for بیٹا or "baRa" for بڑا.
- Check words spelled by sound: Roman Urdu has no fixed spelling, so the tool tells you how many words it guessed. Correct any mistakes directly in the Urdu box.
- Keep punctuation: question marks, commas and full stops become ؟، and ۔ automatically.
Private and free
Many online converters send your text to a server. This one works entirely in your browser, so personal messages stay on your device. To type directly in Urdu instead, try the Urdu Keyboard.
