How to Type Hindi on PC

This wikiHow teaches you how to enter Hindi text if it’s not the default language on a Windows PC. If you have a Hindi keyboard, you just need to install additional language packs and keyboard layouts. If you don’t have one, you can use the Google Input Tops virtual Hindi keyboard on the web, or the Windows On-Screen virtual keyboard to type with applications other than the web (such as Microsoft Word).
