How to use it

Three steps, about ten seconds

  1. Pick the font

    Choose the font your document was typed in. Akruti Sarala is the most common one for Odia.

  2. Paste the old text

    Copy the text from your Word or PDF file and paste it on the left. It will look like random symbols. That is normal.

  3. Copy the Unicode

    Odia appears on the right. Copy it into WhatsApp, Gmail, Google Docs or a web form.

Which font?

How to find the font of your document

In Microsoft Word, click inside the Odia text and look at the font box on the Home tab. Names beginning with AkrutiOriSarala or Akruti Ori use the Akruti Sarala option. OR-TT Sarala or ORTT names use the ORTT-Sarala option. If the name is Aprant or Shreelipi, choose that one. If your font is not listed, ask whoever made the file, or try each option and keep the one that gives readable Odia.

Please check the result. Old fonts did not follow one standard, so some rare conjuncts and symbols can come out wrong, and Shreelipi support is still experimental. Read the output once before you use it for anything official. Text that is already in Odia letters does not need converting.

FAQ

Font converter questions

What is the difference between font text and Unicode?
Old fonts such as Akruti store Odia by mapping its shapes onto English keys, so the text only looks right in that font. Unicode stores real Odia letters, so it shows correctly on every device, can be searched and works in websites and apps.
Why does my pasted text look like strange symbols?
That is how legacy font text looks without its font. It is exactly the kind of text this tool converts.
Can I convert a whole document?
Yes. Select all the text in your file, copy it and paste it into the left box. Long text is fine. Tables, pictures and formatting are not carried over, only the words.
Is my text uploaded or stored?
No. The conversion runs in your own browser and the text never leaves your device.
The result has a few mistakes. What can I do?
Fix them by hand in a Unicode-aware editor, or send us the sample through the contact page so the font table can be reviewed. Please do not send private documents.
