What is a keyboard layout?

A keyboard layout defines how keys on your physical keyboard map to characters on screen. Different languages use different layouts - for example, Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet while English uses Latin letters. When you accidentally type with the wrong layout selected, your text appears as gibberish in a different alphabet.

Tool description

The Keyboard Layout Fixer corrects text that was typed in the wrong keyboard layout. It converts characters between English (Latin) and Russian, Ukrainian, or Hebrew layouts. For example, if you type "ghbdtn" while your keyboard is set to English but you meant to type in Russian, this tool will convert it to "привет" (hello in Russian).

  • Bidirectional conversion: Fix text typed in wrong layout in both directions (e.g., en→ru and ru→en)
  • Instant conversion: Text is converted in real-time as you type
  • Copy to clipboard: Easily copy the corrected text with one click
