བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས། སེམས་ཅན་ཐམས་ཅད་བདེ་བ་དང་བདེ་བའི་རྒྱུ་དང་ལྡན་པར་གྱུར་ཅིག །སེམས་ཅན་ཐམས་ཅད་སྡུག་བསྔལ་དང་སྡུག་བསྔལ་གྱི་རྒྱུ་དང་བྲལ་བར་གྱུར་ཅིག
Built for Tibetan
Every feature designed around the unique needs of Tibetan script — vertical stacking, tsheg segmentation, and ligature rendering.
Monlam Phonetic IME
Type Tibetan with the standard Monlam keyboard layout. Ctrl+Space to toggle between Tibetan and English. Visual on-screen keyboard with real-time key highlighting.
Live Dictionary
Search across 64 Tibetan-English dictionaries with 316,000+ entries. Click any result to insert it at your cursor. Powered by the Tibetan Library API.
Rich Text Editing
Full formatting — headings, bold, italic, colors, alignment, lists, tables, and images. Choose from Jomolhari, Noto Serif Tibetan, Qomolangma, and more.
Multi-Format Export
Save as .terma (native), .html (standalone page), .txt (plain text), .epub (e-book), or .pdf (print). Your documents, your formats.
Offline & Private
No cloud, no account, no tracking. Documents auto-save to your browser. Everything works offline except the dictionary lookup.
Typing Tutor
Built-in lessons from alphabet basics to full sentences. Real-time WPM and accuracy tracking. Learn the Monlam keyboard from scratch.
Scripts & Fonts
TermaType ships with curated Tibetan fonts covering formal, cursive, and modern styles.
TermaType is in active development. Building a professional word processor for Tibetan requires solving unique challenges — vertical consonant stacking, tsheg-based word segmentation, and mixed-script rendering that no mainstream editor handles well.
The current beta includes a full rich text editor, Monlam IME, live dictionary, and multi-format export. With your support, we're working to deliver:
- Native desktop apps — macOS, Windows, and Linux via Tauri
- Offline dictionary — full 316K-entry dictionary without internet
- Spell check — Tibetan-aware spell checking with Botok integration
- Find & replace — tsheg-aware search across documents
- Dark mode — full theme support for low-light writing
- Mobile support — responsive editor for tablets and phones
Your support helps fix bugs, polish the interface, and bring TermaType to every platform. Every contribution directly advances the tools available for Tibetan writers worldwide.
