1. Typing Hindi on Your Computer (I know what you’re thinking…Just because I Made a PowerPoint dues NOT make me a nerd) (This is the easiest way I could organize my screenshots well)

2. -This should take no more than ten minutes if you have Hindi support readily installed on your computer, if you don’t, it should take no more than five minutes more. - This will allow you to have full phonetic Hindi support on your computer without having to go to sites and type it out. - I installed this when I was 13—yes 13, so it shouldn’t be too hard.

3. Go to: www.bhashaindia.com And click >> Download

4. Click >> Indic IME

5. Click the Indic IME (v5.0) (it’s the newest version, therefore its also the sexiest)

6. Sign in with your Hotmail, (You may have to click the “Sign Up Now” button), (I didn’t have to, cuz I’m P.I.M.P) -ok that was kinda fruity..I wont do that again…

7. Ok…this is pretty self- explanatory…

8. Again…pretty self- explanatory…

9. After you finish installing, go to >Control Panel

10. Go to: > Date, Time, Regional, Language Options

11. Click: > Add Other Languages

12.
