Thanglish to Tamil
There is no Tamil keyboard to learn. Spell each word in English letters the way you say it, press Space, and GoTamil writes it in Tamil. It predicts each word from how it sounds, so tamil becomes தமிழ் without any special spelling.
Each word turns into Tamil when you press Space, so your sentence builds as you type.
When a spelling could mean more than one word, pick the right one from the list.
Pick the word as you typed it from the same list, and it stays in English.
Spelling and grammar
Once your words are in Tamil, GoTamil reviews each sentence for spelling and grammar. It catches the small errors that are easy to miss when typing in English letters, like the ப் in மிகப் பழமையான, and corrects them without changing your meaning.
Words that sound alike are checked against the sentence, so the right one is used.
Verb forms, tense and word endings are checked so sentences read correctly.
Apply each correction in one tap, or dismiss it to keep your original wording.
