TermaType — desktop word processor showing Tibetan text editing with dictionary sidebar

Most word processors treat Tibetan as an afterthought. TermaType was built from the ground up for bilingual writing — Tibetan first, not Tibetan as a plugin.

What's Inside

A small, lightweight download. No bloat. Everything you need to write beautifully in both languages.

Just Type Wylie, Get Tibetan

Full EWTS input with real-time conversion. Consonant stacking, vowel placement, and Sanskrit extensions all handled automatically. Toggle with Ctrl+Space.

Dictionary Woven Into the Page

Hover any Tibetan word for a quick definition. Select text for richer results. Search English to find Tibetan equivalents and click to insert.

Truly Bilingual UI

Toggle the entire interface between Tibetan and English — every menu, every label, every help page. Typing language stays independent.

Beautiful Tibetan Typography

Tsheg-based line breaking at syllable boundaries. OpenType stacking features. Six curated Tibetan fonts bundled, plus all system fonts.

100% Offline

No cloud. No accounts. No tracking. Your text never leaves your computer. 14 MB download — everything included.

Calm Writing Surface

Warm paper-like background, terracotta caret. Focus mode hides everything — menus, tabs, sidebar — leaving only your words.

A real word processor

Everything you'd expect: headings, lists, tables, images with alignment and resizing, code blocks, footnotes, format painter, find & replace. Multiple document tabs with auto-save.
