## What is Nepali Transliteration Keyboard?

KeyNounce is the easiest way to type in Nepali using just the English keyboard. KeyNounce uses a technique called "transliteration" that enables you to type the Nepali pronunciation in English, instantly giving you back the word written in Nepali.

For example, typing "swagatam" will be converted into the Nepali unicode right as you type! It’s simple, fast and super accurate. You don’t need to worry about typing in the exact English spelling for an Nepali word, KeyNounce is smart enough to accept many input spellings for the same output word.

If you can write, or read Nepali, but aren’t used to typing using the Nepali keyboard, KeyNounce is the perfect solution for you.

KeyNounce works in any app! Once you enable the keyboard you’ll be able to easily compose texts, emails, tweets, facebook posts, and search the web in Nepali.

### 5/5 — One of the best Keyboard

*2025-08-17, version 1.1.8*

I am using this since 2017. I like this app than any other keyboard to write in Nepali. Now it is asking face verification every time when I use it. I don’t like this feature.

### 2/5 — Looks scamming

*2025-07-22, version 1.1.8*

Download and pays 3$ but there is no option of keyboard to type means app looks incomplete / has only payment options what the hell

### 1/5 — Total Scam App – Muji app le paisa खायो मात्र, केही दिँदैन!

*2025-04-20, version 1.1.8*

Yo muji app ले त literally paisa खायो र हरायो! Paid app हो भनेर किनें, expecting at least it would open—तर open हुँदैन, काम त झन् zero! Update छैन सालौँदेखि, developer त झन् कुन गुफामा गएका हुन् थाहा छैन!

एता त पैसा खाएर लुक्ने, उता त Apple ले यस्तो useless app store मा राखेको! कसैको मेहनतको पैसा हो, joke हैन! तपाईंले पनि किन्ने सोच्दै हुनुहुन्छ भने—DON’T. तातो छोपेर फ्याल्ने खालको muji app हो यो।

### 1/5 — Paid app nolonger works

*2025-04-02, version 1.1.8*

### 1/5 — Disappointing!!

*2024-02-20, version 1.1.8*
