Online Keyboards for Other Alphabets

Type Russian, Ukrainian, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Korean or Japanese without installing a keyboard. Tap the keys or use your own keyboard, then copy the text.

<!-- how it works -->

Any alphabet, from the keyboard you have

Each keyboard uses the layout people in that country actually type on, so what you learn here works on a real keyboard later. Your own keys are mapped by position, not by the letter printed on them — or switch the mapping off if you already have the layout installed.

Common questions

How do I type in another alphabet without changing my keyboard?

Open the keyboard for that language and either tap the on-screen keys or type on your own keyboard. Your keys are mapped by position, so the key where a Russian keyboard has Й types Й, even if yours says Q. Then press Copy and paste the text anywhere.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The keyboards run in your browser on a computer, tablet or phone. If you will type a language every day, adding its keyboard to your device is still worth it — each keyboard page has the steps for Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android.

Is my text saved or sent anywhere?

No. What you type stays in this browser tab and is gone when you close it. Copy it before you leave the page.

Do these keyboards work on a phone?

Yes. On a phone the on-screen keyboard replaces your phone's own, so it does not pop up over the page. If you would rather use your phone keyboard, tap "Phone" above the keys.

Can I type Chinese or kanji here?

Not yet. Chinese characters and Japanese kanji need a dictionary-based input method that suggests characters as you type. The Japanese keyboard here covers hiragana and katakana.
