Kannada is spoken by 60M+ people, primarily in South Asia. It uses the Kannada writing system, which is written left to right.
Romanization (also called transliteration) converts Kannada characters to their equivalent Latin (Roman) letter representations. This allows speakers of Latin-script languages to read and pronounce Kannada text without knowing the Kannada script.
This tool uses Google's neural romanization engine to convert Kannada text to Latin script in real time. The romanization follows standard transliteration conventions and is updated automatically 800ms after you stop typing — no button click required.
