Type it the way it sounds.
Many of us speak Tibetan well but are unsure how to spell it.
Type it the way you say it, and it comes out in standard spelling; where a sound could be more than one word, you choose.
Typing Tibetan has meant learning a Tibetan keyboard, or Wylie, where you must already know every letter of the spelling. Sound typing skips both. Type a sentence the way you say it, in ordinary English letters, and it becomes Tibetan in standard spelling, with a choice where a sound could be more than one word. For everyone who speaks Tibetan with confidence but writes it with doubt.
- Type a sentence the way you say it: nga lobdra la dogi yin.
- Each word becomes Tibetan as you type.
- Where a sound could be spelled more than one way, tap the word to pick another.
- See what it says in English, hear it, and copy the Tibetan anywhere.
