Type Russian letters without a Russian keyboardLearn more
This online Russian keyboard follows the easy-to-learn AATSEEL “phonetic” keyboard layout, which tries to match Russian letters to QWERTY keys based on sound — for example, п (which sounds like p) is typed by pressing P. The phonetic layout is widely used in the US by Russian translators, teachers, people who want to learn Russian, etc. Computer keyboards in Russia use a different layout. The phonetic layout is designed for US-English QWERTY keyboards. If your computer has a different keyboard (e.g. German or French), you may learn that letters assigned to punctuation keys do not work as expected. In that case, you can try the alternative Ctrl+key shortcuts. Advertising
Every month, this Russian keyboard is visited by over 20,000 people (over 80% from Western countries) who want to learn Russian or already speak Russian and need to write personal correspondence and other documents in the language.
