Google Input Tools, also known as Google IME, is a set of input method editors by Google for 22 languages, including Amharic, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Japanese, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Sanskrit, Serbian, Tamil, Telugu, Tigrinya, and Urdu.

It is a virtual keyboard that allows users to type in their local language text directly in any application without the hassle of copying and pasting.

Later on, because of its steady rise in popularity, it was released as Google Transliteration IME for offline use in December 2009.

Due to the increasing demand for such tools across multiple language groups, it expanded its support to other scripts and was later renamed simply Google Transliteration.

By December 2009, an offline version of this tool was made available under the name Google Transliteration IME.
