About English to Tamil Typing Tool
This free Tamil typing tool converts phonetically typed English into accurate Tamil (Tamil Script) script using Google's transliteration backend — the same engine powering Google Keyboard on Android and Google Input Tools. Suggestions appear as you type and you press Space to confirm each word.
The output is standard Unicode Tamil text that works in WhatsApp, Gmail, Facebook, Word, Google Docs and any Unicode-supporting app. Works on all devices — mobile and desktop.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use this Tamil typing tool?+
Type each word phonetically in the left box. A dropdown with suggestions appears automatically. Press Space to confirm the top suggestion. Use Arrow keys to select a different suggestion. Press Backspace on empty input to undo the last confirmed word.
What does Ctrl+G do?+
Ctrl+G toggles between Tamil typing mode and English mode. In English mode, what you type goes directly to the output without transliteration. Press Ctrl+G again to switch back to Tamil mode.
Does this require internet?+
Yes. The transliteration uses Google's backend via a proxy. An internet connection is needed. If suggestions stop appearing, check your connection — the green dot near the output box shows API status.
Common Tamil phonetic examples?+
vanakkam→வணக்கம் · nandri→நன்றி · naan→நான் · eppadi→எப்படி · Tamizh→தமிழ். Use Backspace to undo a word and pick a different suggestion.
Can I copy the Tamil text and use it anywhere?+
Yes. Click "Copy Tamil Text" and paste into WhatsApp, Gmail, Facebook, Word, Google Docs or any app supporting Unicode text.
