Typing Bangla used to mean learning a phonetic keyboard. With voice typing you just speak and it writes - into any app, in real time. Here is how, in five steps.
Step by step
- 1Download and install Azadi 24
Download the free app for Windows 10 or 11 and run the installer. It is about 80 MB.
- 2Open the widget and sign in
A small always-on-top widget appears. Sign in with Google (free, no card) to start.
- 3Put your cursor where you want to write
Click into Word, Chrome, Notepad, Messenger - any app. Your voice types wherever the cursor is.
- 4Start the mic and speak Bangla
Click the mic on the widget and just talk - words appear in real time as you speak. Or hold Ctrl+Win for Bangla (Alt+Win for English), say the whole thought, and release: the AI cleans it up and inserts it in one go.
- 5Pause to finish
Stop speaking and the text stays. Edit normally, or start the mic again to add more; a tap on the hotkey stops a session that is still running.
Tips
- Speak naturally - no need to dictate punctuation; it is added for you.
- A decent mic helps, but the built-in laptop mic works fine.
- Switch anytime: Ctrl+Win for Bangla, Alt+Win for English. Hold either combo for AI polish mode.
Bangla voice typing in MS Word
A very common question: Word's built-in dictation (Win+H) has no Bangla option at all. Azadi 24 solves it the direct way - it types INTO Word. Open your document, put the cursor where you want to write, click the mic (or hold Ctrl+Win) and speak; the Bangla lands in the document in real time, formatting intact. The same works in Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs and email.
Prefer typing? The Bangla keyboard is built in
Azadi 24 also ships a free built-in Bangla keyboard: an Avro-style phonetic mode (type ami, get আমি) and the Jatiyo layout, 7 layouts in total, with a suggestion bar. Toggle phonetic with Ctrl+Alt+F and your fixed layout (Jatiyo until you pick another) with Ctrl+Alt+J - nothing extra to install. A restart always brings the keyboard back to English.
