Hindi typing is something which was always a mode of confusion for me. Being an Indian I often need to use the Hindi typing, may it be for some kind of school projects for my kids or designing some event invitation or anything else.HindiWriter is the freeware which solved my problem completely.
What is HindiWriter
HindiWriter is a freeware which allows you to type in the Hindi language without installing new fonts or memorizing a special Hindi keyboard layout. This software uses the Indic language fonts which comes pre-installed with the Windows PCs. You just need to download and install the freeware on your Windows PC and it converts your English words to Hindi with just a few clicks.
It is a compact and useful freeware with advanced utility to translate English language to the equivalent Hindi words. With a user-friendly interface this program is very easy to use. The program uses a “phonetic” scheme of Hindi typing, which actually means that you have to type the word in English on your keyboard according to the phonetic sound of the word in Hindi. For example if you want to type ’bharat’ in Hindi; you have to type ‘bharat’ on your English keyboard.
HindiWriter not just help you typing in Hindi, but also provides the Spell Check and Auto Word Lookup. The program works on the iTrance scheme of translation to translate your English words to corresponding Hindiwords. HindiWriter includes the feature of ‘Find’ but I missed the SpellCheck options which is often available in every grammar checking software.

- Microsoft Office
