Overview

Behnevis is a Persian text entry tool that helps people write Persian script from Latin transliteration and from speech. The site presents it as a Persian (Farsi) keyboard, editor, and speech-to-text product, with a browser-based editor and a separate Microsoft Word add-on for Windows.

Its main workflow is to type Persian words in Pinglish or Finglish, click to correct converted words when needed, and use speech input when writing by voice. The home page also notes that the legacy two-part editor remains available for free, while the newer in-place editor and speech-to-text features are part of paid plans.

Core capabilities

Pinglish to Persian transliteration

Convert Pinglish or Finglish typed with Latin letters into Persian script, with support for direct correction by clicking on converted words.

Persian speech to text

Dictate Persian text and other supported languages into the editor, then let the converted text appear at the cursor after transcription.

Legacy and in-place editor modes

Use the legacy two-part editor at no cost, while the newer in-place editor is included in paid plans.

MS Word add-on for Windows

Work inside Microsoft Word on Windows with the Behnevis add-on, including automatic conversion and selected-text conversion.

Half-space and RTL/LTR writing controls

Insert a half-space from the editor toolbar for compound Persian words such as کلمه‌ها and similar forms.

Output reuse across apps

Copy or save converted text for use in email, blogs, and other web pages, and direct email is also mentioned in the homepage copy.

Common use cases

  • Draft Persian text from English letters

    Write Persian text in a browser by typing Latin letters, converting the result, and clicking any word to fix transliteration errors.

  • Capture speech as Persian text

    Dictate short Persian passages when typing is slower or inconvenient, then review the text that appears in the editor after transcription.

  • Edit Persian inside Word

    Work on Persian documents in Microsoft Word on Windows, using the add-on to convert continuously or convert selected Pinglish text.

  • Format Persian text for publishing or email

    Prepare mixed-language text for blogs, web pages, or email by switching text direction and using the editor’s half-space control where needed.

  • Use the free legacy editor

    Use the free legacy interface for basic transliteration when you do not need the newer in-place editor or speech features.
