What this tool does

Real-time SinGlish transliteration

Type Sinhala the way you would text it in English letters and the Sinhala appears as you type, with no separate convert step.

Standard Sinhala Unicode output

The output is standard Sinhala Unicode, so it pastes into Word, WhatsApp, email or a web form and looks the same everywhere.

Built-in typing guide and examples

A typing guide and worked examples are on the page, which is what you need for the sounds that are not obvious.

Copy or download the result

Copy the Sinhala to your clipboard or download it as a file, and the text size buttons make it easier to proofread.

Private, works offline

The transliteration runs in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded and it works with no connection.

Frequently asked questions

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with nothing uploaded, so it is private and works offline once loaded.

How do I type Sinhala with this?

Type words the way they sound in English letters. For example, ka becomes the Sinhala ka, and doubling a vowel makes it long, so kaa is the long form. The typing guide lists every letter.

How do I get long vowels and special sounds?

Double the vowel for long sounds (aa, ii, uu, ee), use capital letters for some sounds (A, N, L, T), and helpers like the backslash-n for the anusvara. The guide shows them all.

Is the output real Sinhala Unicode?

Yes. It produces standard Sinhala Unicode, so you can copy and paste it into documents, social media, messaging and anywhere else that supports Unicode.

Which transliteration scheme is this?

It follows the widely used SinGlish transliteration scheme, the same approach long used by popular Sinhala real-time converters, so if you already know that style it works the same here.
