01 · How Odia typing works
Type the sound. Fix the spelling with a tap.
Odia has the retroflex flap letters ଡ଼ and ଢ଼ and the letter ଳ, and uses ୟ for the y of conjuncts. This page gives each its own key and keeps final i short, as in ଆଜି and ରାତି.
- 01
ଡ଼ ଢ଼ ଳ
Capital R is ଡ଼, Rh is ଢ଼, and capital L is ଳ.
- oRiaaଓଡ଼ିଆ
- oRishaaଓଡ଼ିଶା
- kaLaaକଳା
- 02
y is ଯ at the start, ୟ everywhere else
Odia uses ୟ for a y inside a word or conjunct. Capital Y gives ୟ anywhere.
- yaaଯା
- samayସମୟ
- dhanyabaadଧନ୍ୟବାଦ
- 03
v and w are ବ
The Odia ବ stands for b, v and w. ୱ is not typed by default.
- baapaaବାପା
- vidyaaବିଦ୍ୟା
- 04
Final i stays short
Unlike Hindi, a word-final i is ି. Type ii for ୀ.
- aajiଆଜି
- puriiପୁରୀ
Space converts
Press space, Enter or a punctuation mark and the word you typed turns into Odia. Pasted text is converted word by word.
Chips show other spellings
Roman letters can be read several ways. The chips list known words first, then single-letter alternatives. Press 1–5 or tap.
Ctrl+Space is English
Toggle plain English for names, URLs and numbers. Backspace right after a conversion gives your letters back.
02 · Spelling ambiguity
Where Odia spellings differ, and how to correct them.
Odia has the flap letters ଡ଼ ଢ଼ and ଳ on capital keys, and short and long i and u that change words. Every pair below was run through the typing engine when the page was built, and a test checks each one.
ଲ or ଳ
Capital L is ଳ.
- kalaକଲା
- kaLaaକଳା
Short or long vowel
ii and aa give the long signs.
- dinaଦିନା
- diinaଦୀନା
- bapaବପା
- baapaaବାପା

05 · FAQ
Questions about Odia typing
What about Odia legacy fonts?
Akruti Sarala text can be converted with the Akruti Sarala converters linked below.
Is the suggestion list reliable?
It is built from Odia Wikipedia word counts and covers common words only. For names and rare words the rule output is what you get.
How do I type Odia using English letters?
Click in the box and type each word the way it sounds, for example “mo desh bhaarat”. When you press space or a punctuation key the word becomes Odia (ମୋ ଦେଶ ଭାରତ). The chips above the box list other spellings; press 1–5 or tap one to swap it in.
A word came out wrong. How do I fix it?
Right after a word converts, press Backspace once to get your English letters back and edit them, or press Ctrl+Z, or tap “Undo word”. You can also tap another chip before pressing space. Switch with Ctrl+Space when you want plain English.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser. The page downloads one small word-list file from this site so it can suggest spellings; what you type is never sent. The text is kept in this tab’s session storage so a refresh does not lose it, and it disappears when you close the tab.
Does it work on a phone?
It is built for touch screens: big tappable chips, and the conversion waits until your keyboard has finished its own word so predictive keyboards do not fight it. If your phone keyboard autocorrects Roman words before this page sees them, turn off auto-correct for this site or use the suggestion chips.
Can I save what I typed?
Yes: Copy puts the Odia text on the clipboard, and the download buttons save a .txt or a Word .docx. The text is standard Unicode, so it pastes into WhatsApp, Gmail, Word and Google Docs.
