Thanglish → Tamil Converter

Type Tamil the way you already type it — in English letters.

Try it live

A free, real-time converter that turns Thanglish (Tamil written in English letters) into proper Tamil Unicode script as you type. Built for the millions of Tamil speakers who type on English keyboards every day — no Tamil keyboard to install, no signup, no limits.

What it does well

  • Spelling-tolerant — accepts natural variations like 'konjam', 'konjum' or 'konjm' and still converts correctly.
  • Handles code-switching — English words typed mid-sentence stay in English instead of getting mangled.
  • ~37ms per word, so it converts as fast as you type, not after you finish.
  • 78.95% word-exact-match accuracy, measured on a 104,528-example test set.
  • No account, no data storage — text is converted and discarded, not logged.
