Spanish keyboard (Latin America)
Acute accents, diaeresis (ü), and when accents change meaning — with examples.
Acute accent (´)
Marks stress when it breaks normal rules: canción, inglés, está. Also distinguishes homographs: el (the) vs él (he), si (if) vs sí (yes).
Diaeresis (¨)
Used on u after g to show u is pronounced: lingüística, vergüenza, pingüino, agüita. Type u== in Lexilogos mode.
Ñ (eñe)
A distinct letter — not n with a tilde. Appears in español, mañana, niño. Type n= or ~ + n.
Common mistakes
Do not accent every word — only where rules require it. Question words in questions need accent: ¿cómo?, ¿qué?, ¿dónde? Context matters for el/él and similar pairs.

Practical tips for Spanish input — layouts, accents, and common questions answered below.
A Spanish keyboard (teclado español) lets you type the letter ñ, accented vowels (á, é, í, ó, ú), diaeresis ü, and inverted punctuation (¿, ¡). KeyLingo provides this in your browser — no software install — with virtual keyboards for Spain and Latin America plus Easy Accents compose on any QWERTY keyboard.
Open KeyLingo Spanish Keyboard and use Easy Accents mode: type on QWERTY and accents appear as you go (n= → ñ, a= → á). Switch to Virtual Keyboard for click-to-type with Spain or Latin America layout. Use the Unicode Editor to paste existing text and run the accent checker or punctuation assistant.
The acute accent (´) marks stress when it breaks normal rules: canción, inglés, está. It also distinguishes homographs: el (the) vs él (he), si (if) vs sí (yes). The diaeresis (¨) appears on u after g to keep the u pronounced: lingüística, vergüenza, pingüino. KeyLingo's accent checker suggests missing accents from a curated dictionary — homographs need your judgment.
Modern Spanish has 27 alphabet letters: a through z plus ñ (RAE Ortografía 2010). The digraphs ch, ll, rr, gu, and qu represent single sounds but are not separate alphabet entries. Browse all letters in the Character Explorer with pronunciation hints and one-click copy.
Spanish vowels (a, e, i, o, u) are short and clear. Ñ is pronounced like ny in canyon. The digraph rr trills strongly (perro). Ll varies by region — yeísmo merges ll with y (/ʝ/) in much of Spain and Latin America. Use the speaker button in the Character Explorer for Web Speech pronunciation (es-ES voice).
Questions and exclamations use inverted opening marks: ¿Cómo estás? and ¡Qué bien! The closing ? and ! match English. KeyLingo's punctuation assistant detects missing ¿/¡ and suggests fixes. Guillemets « » are used for quotes in formal Spanish typography.
Ñ (eñe) is a distinct letter in Spanish, not an n with a tilde. Type it with n= in Lexilogos mode, ~ + n in US-International mode, or click ñ on the virtual keyboard. It appears in español, mañana, niño, and thousands of everyday words.
Easy Accents — Lexilogos: a= á, e= é, i= í, o= ó, u= ú, u== ü, n= ñ, ?= ¿, != ¡, A= Á (uppercase). Easy Accents — US-International: ' + vowel for acute, ~ + n for ñ, " + u for ü; press space after ' or " for a literal apostrophe or quote. Use the accent strip for one-click Á É Í Ó Ú Ñ. On mobile, long-press vowels in other apps; KeyLingo compose avoids fighting autocorrect.
Both layouts place ñ to the right of L and support accent dead keys. Spain (ISO) includes Ç for Catalan contexts; Latin America aligns symbol keys closer to US ANSI (@, #). KeyLingo lets you switch layouts in Virtual Keyboard mode — choose the one you learned at school or work.
The phrase library includes greetings, travel, business, education, shopping, social, and daily conversation — each with Spanish, English meaning, and pronunciation hint. Click any phrase to insert it into the editor.
All typing, accent checking, and punctuation suggestions run locally in your browser. KeyLingo never uploads your Spanish text to a server.
Spanish keyboard, input methods, and privacy — answered clearly.
In Easy Accents mode use n= (Lexilogos) or ~ then n (US-International). On the virtual keyboard, click the ñ key next to L. On phones, long-press n in many apps.
Use Easy Accents: a= → á, e= → é, or US-Intl ' + vowel. The accent checker also suggests fixes for words like cancion → canción.
Both have ñ and accent keys in the same positions. Spain's layout is ISO-based with extra symbols like Ç; Latin America's layout places @ and # closer to US keyboard habits.
Lexilogos: ?= for ¿ and != for ¡. Virtual keyboard: dedicated keys. Punctuation assistant suggests adding them when missing.
Accents mark stress (canción) or distinguish words (el vs él). Diaeresis on u keeps it pronounced after g (lingüística). Our accent checker helps but cannot resolve every homograph without context.
Yes. Easy Accents is the default on mobile — type with shortcuts or open the virtual keyboard sheet. Disable OS autocorrect if it interferes with = sequences.
Use the Character Explorer alphabet with IPA hints and the speaker button (Web Speech). The pronunciation guide below covers vowels, ñ, and regional ll variation.
Accents show correct stress and can change meaning: si (if) vs sí (yes), tu (your) vs tú (you). Formal writing expects correct accents.
No. KeyLingo helps you type Spanish characters and accents. It does not translate meaning — use a translation tool for that.
Yes. Use the España / México toggle above the editor. It sets the Web Speech API voice locale (es-ES or es-MX). Available voices depend on your browser and operating system.
No. All typing and accent tools run locally in your browser.
