How to use Keyboard layout converter
- 1
Paste the gibberish
Paste or type the text that came out wrong, such as ghbdtn, руддщ or dkssud; the fixed version appears beside it as you type.
- 2
Check the two layouts
“Typed on” and “Meant for” show the guessed pair. Change either menu if the guess is off, or press the swap button to run the conversion the other way.
- 3
Keep the words that were right
If only part of a message went wrong, switch on “Convert only the words that look wrong” so correctly typed words, links and numbers stay untouched.
- 4
Copy the result
Copy the fixed text to the clipboard or download it as a .txt file.
Limits and Pro
Free with no sign-up and no length cap. The layouts are guessed from the first 800 characters; texts over 20,000 characters are converted in a background thread so typing never stalls.
Pro removes the ads; the converter itself has no limits to lift. See Pro
About Keyboard layout converter
You meant to write “привет”, the keyboard was still on English, and the screen says “ghbdtn”. This converter replays every character on the layout you meant: it works out which physical key typed it, with or without Shift, and reads that key on the other layout. Nothing is translated or looked up in a dictionary, so names, slang and typos come out exactly as you typed them.
Sixteen layouts are covered: English (US QWERTY), Russian, Ukrainian (Enhanced, with ґ), Belarusian, Kazakh, Uzbek Cyrillic, Bulgarian (BDS and both phonetic layouts), Greek, Hebrew, Arabic (101), Persian (the Windows layout and ISIRI 9147), Thai Kedmanee and Korean 두벌식. The key tables come from the layout files Windows itself uses; Korean follows the KS X 5002 standard. Punctuation moves with its key — on the Russian layout the full stop sits on the / key, so “/” turns into “.” — while spaces and line breaks stay where they are.
Korean takes one more step. The keys of “dkssudgktpdy” type the jamo ㅇㅏㄴㄴㅕㅇ…, which are assembled into syllables the way the Korean keyboard does it, giving 안녕하세요; the reverse splits syllables back into keys. Greek accents typed with the ; dead key work in both directions too.
The direction is guessed as you type and you can override it. What it cannot fix: text typed on a layout missing from the list, characters typed with AltGr (they are copied unchanged), and capitals the keyboard never recorded — the Korean keyboard types the same jamo with or without Shift, so Korean turned back into English always comes out in lowercase.
Privacy
The conversion and the layout guess both run inside this page, so your text is never sent anywhere. The guess uses about 15 KB of key statistics that load from this site the first time you type. The text and the layouts you picked are kept in this browser's local storage so they survive a reload; Clear removes the text.
