Hindi to Roman Transliteration
Paste Hindi in Devanagari and read it in English letters. This changes the script only — it does not translate Hindi into English.
Two output styles
Simple writes Hindi the way people usually type it in chats and emails. For words in the dictionary it uses the most common spelling people chose (मेरा → mera, धन्यवाद → dhanyavad); other words are spelled by rules that drop the silent “a” that Hindi does not pronounce, so लड़का becomes ladka rather than ladakaa. Simple spellings are easy to read but not reversible: several Hindi letters share one English letter.
ISO 15919 is an international standard that marks every Devanagari letter precisely, with diacritics: भारत → bhārata, कृष्ण → kr̥ṣṇa, ड़ → ṛ. It keeps every written vowel, including the silent ones, which makes it suitable for study and references.
What is kept as it is
Spaces, line breaks, numbers, English words and punctuation are kept. The Hindi full stop । and ॥ become “.”, and Devanagari digits (१२३) become 123.
