FAQ

Google Input Tools for Windows is an input method editor which allows users to enter text in any of the supported languages using a Latin (English / QWERTY) keyboard. Users can type a word the way it sounds using Latin characters and Google Input Tools for Windows will convert the word to its native script. Available input tools include transliteration, IME, and on-screen keyboards.

Google has discontinued Google Input Tools for Windows in 2018, and currently offers the functionality only as an extension to the Chrome browser, or as part of Google services. For more details, visit www.google.com/inputtools.

This page serves as an archive of the original offline installers, as digitally signed by Google. Note that the software is no longer supported, and installing them required agreeing to Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
