FAQ

How do I type Armenian on an English or US keyboard?

Type the way it sounds and Armenian appears live — e.g. barev → բարև. Digraphs zh kh ts dz gh ch sh map to ժ խ ց ձ ղ չ շ, u → ու, ev → և. Apostrophe picks the paired letter: ts' ch' o' y' → ծ ճ օ ը, rr → ռ. Type on your own keyboard or click the on-screen keys.

What is an Armenian phonetic (transliteration) keyboard?

You type Latin letters by sound and they turn into the Armenian alphabet using a deterministic scheme. If you already have Latin text, paste it and press Convert Latin to transliterate it all at once.

Is it free, and do I need an account?

It is completely free with no sign-up. It runs in your browser and keeps working offline once loaded.

Does PolyType save what I type?

No. PolyType does not save, collect, upload, or process your text. Your text stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere.
