In many parts of the world, people often can often speak a language but not know how to read the script. Are you one of them? If so, Script Converter is the tool for you. Script Converter breaks down the script barrier by allowing you to read text in any script you want.

This tool converts a given web page or piece of text from one script to another. Remember, this does not translate, it transliterates (convert to phonetic equivalent) in a different script. For example, if you can speak Hindi, you know that ‘namaste’ is a greeting in Hindi but you can’t read ‘नमस्ते’ in Hindi script.

Using script converter you can convert ‘नमस्ते’ to 'namaste' in english script, which you can read. Similarly, you can read hindi web pages rendered in english script by giving the URL. To start browsing a website, type the url in the text area, choose your preferred script and press convert.

We currently support 17 languages with 17X17 conversion support: Bengali, English, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Sanskrit, Serbian, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.
