Reference key mappings ↗Quick answers
Does this translate words?
No. This tool enters characters using shortcuts or a character lookup. It does not translate meaning, correct spelling, or predict sentences.
How do I type without conversion?
Choose Plain text. You can switch back to Auto typing at any time. Existing text stays as you wrote it.
Where is my text saved?
Your text remains in this browser. Optional drafts are saved separately for each keyboard on this device. Turn the draft option off to delete that keyboard’s saved draft.
Will every character look the same after copying?
The destination app controls its fonts. Historic characters, combining marks, and private-use signs may need a compatible font. A TXT file preserves characters, not fonts or styling.
