How Tamil Typing Works
This is a transliteration keyboard: you type the sound of a Tamil word in English letters, and it converts that into the correct தமிழ் spelling. It is the fastest way to write Tamil when your device only has an English keyboard.
Type Tamil phonetically
In the left box, type Tamil words the way they sound using the English (Latin) alphabet. For example, spell out a word phonetically and the tool figures out the Tamil spelling.
See தமிழ் instantly
As you type, each word is transliterated live into தமிழ் script on the right. There is no button to press and no keyboard layout to learn.
Copy and use anywhere
Click Copy to put the Tamil text on your clipboard, then paste it into WhatsApp, Word, Gmail, Instagram, or any app that accepts தமிழ் text.
Pick up where you left off
Your input is auto-saved in your browser, so you can close the tab and continue typing Tamil later without losing your work.
Why Type Tamil This Way?
No keyboard to install
You do not need to install a Tamil keyboard or switch your phone's language settings. If you can type English, you can type Tamil.
Great for the diaspora
Tamil speakers living abroad often have only an English keyboard. Phonetic typing lets them write தமிழ் to family and friends effortlessly.
Faster than hunting for letters
Instead of searching a virtual Tamil keyboard for each character, you type naturally in English and get accurate தமிழ் output.
Works on any device
The Tamil transliteration tool runs in your browser on phones, tablets, and computers — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.
