TermaType

གཏེར་མ་ཡིག་སྦྱོར།

The first word processor built from the ground up for bilingual Tibetan and English writing. Free. 100% offline.

TermaType — desktop word processor showing Tibetan text editing with dictionary sidebar

Traditional word processors treat Tibetan as an afterthought — broken rendering, no input support, no dictionary, no understanding of the script at all. TermaType is different.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

7.8 MB base install. No bloat. Download the features you want as optional extensions.

Wylie Input

Type in EWTS and watch it convert to Tibetan Unicode in real time. Toggle with Ctrl+Space.

239K+ Dictionary

Integrated offline dictionary from Rangjung Yeshe and Monlam. Select any word for instant lookup.

100% Offline

No cloud. No accounts. No tracking. Your text never leaves your computer. Ever.

Dark Mode & Focus

Dark mode for late night work. Focus mode fades everything but the current paragraph.

A real word processor

Not a note-taking app. Not a text editor. A full word processor with everything you need to write, format, and publish professional documents.
