Problem with Phonetic Keyboard

Anonymous

For past 2 days, Phonetic (Hindi) keyboard is giving problems. When I try to type a word, starting with some characters (like t, d, b etc.), it is not typing/converting beyond few characters.

Tried after rebooting the system 3-4 times. Removed Hindi language and re-installed also. Re-installed Hindi Phonetic keyboard as well. Nothing worked.

I have been a user of Phonetic Keyboard (Hindi) for many years and never faced such issue.

Please help.

Thanks for the update, Anurag.

Since the issue happens in all apps and Hindi Traditional works fine, it confirms the problem is with the Hindi Phonetic keyboard itself, likely due to a recent Windows update. You've done the right steps by updating Windows and sending feedback through the Feedback Hub.

While waiting for Microsoft to fix it in a future update, you can use Google Input Tools (online) as a temporary option for Hindi typing.

Take care and all the best,

Arlene D.

    I have the same question. I am facing the same issue with Odia and Hindi Phonetic Keyboards. Odia Inscript and Hindi Inscript keyboard work fine. I have removed and added the keyboards and also restarted windows couple of times. Still the issue persists. Google Input Tools is the only option now.

    Dear Microsoft Support,

    I am also facing an issue with the Tamil Phonetic Keyboard where it does not convert typed text properly—either stopping mid-word or failing to display Tamil script other Tamil inscript and Tamil 99 keyboard works well. Despite reinstalling the keyboard and language pack, the problem persists. We are more comfortable with Phenotic keyboard but it's not working, Kindly resolve this at the earliest as it affects daily usage.
