How to Type Bangla by Voice on a Computer

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

  1. 1
    Download and install Azadi 24

    Download the free app for Windows 10 or 11 and run the installer. It is about 80 MB.

  2. 2
    Open the widget and sign in

    A small always-on-top widget appears. Sign in with Google (free, no card) to start.

  3. 3
    Put your cursor where you want to write

    Click into Word, Chrome, Notepad, Messenger - any app. Your voice types wherever the cursor is.

  4. 4
    Press the hotkey and speak Bangla

    Tap Ctrl+Win for Bangla (Alt+Win for English), or click the mic on the widget, then just talk. Words appear in real time as you speak.

  5. 5
    Pause to finish

    Stop speaking and the text stays. Edit normally, or press the hotkey again to add more.

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, tap 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, 6 layouts in total, with a suggestion bar. Toggle phonetic with Ctrl+Alt+K and Jatiyo with Ctrl+Alt+B - nothing extra to install.
