Everything you need to know about the Tamil keyboard

Tanglish mode lets you type Tamil words using English letters on your physical keyboard. For example, type vanakkam and it converts to வணக்கம் automatically when you press Space. Great for users comfortable with QWERTY typing.
Type your Tamil message on kactyl.com/tamil/, click Copy, open WhatsApp and long-press the text field to paste. Works on iPhone and Android without changing language settings.
Click the Vowels button to open the vowel signs panel. You will find aa (ா), i (ி), ii (ீ), u (ு), uu (ூ), e (ெ), ee (ே), ai (ை), o (ொ), oo (ோ), au (ௌ), and halant (்). Click any sign to insert it at your cursor position.
Type your Tamil text on kactyl.com/tamil/, click Copy, open TikTok and paste into the caption or comments. Use Tanglish mode if you prefer typing with your English keyboard.
Open kactyl.com/tamil/ in your mobile browser. Tap the Tamil letters on the virtual keyboard. No app needed. Tap Copy and paste into WhatsApp, Instagram or any other app.
The keyboard needs internet to load the page. Once loaded, typing, Tanglish mode, vowel signs, and emoji all work offline.
Type your text on kactyl.com/tamil/ then tap Copy, open Instagram, edit your bio or create a post, then long-press and paste.
Type your Tamil text in the editor, then click the Copy button. Open WhatsApp, TikTok, Snapchat or any app and paste it by long-pressing the text field and selecting Paste.
Yes — click the microphone button and speak in Tamil. Your browser's speech recognition converts your spoken Tamil into text in the editor. Works best on Chrome and Safari. Allow microphone access when your browser prompts you.
Yes, completely. No account, no subscription, no watermark on copied text, and no limit on how much you type. The site is supported by ads, not by charging Tamil speakers to type their own language.
Tamil has around 80 million speakers, as an official language of Tamil Nadu (India), Sri Lanka, and Singapore — and one of the oldest continuously used classical languages in the world, with a literary tradition spanning over 2,000 years.
Tamil script has fewer letters than most other Brahmic scripts because Tamil phonology doesn't distinguish aspirated/unaspirated or voiced/unvoiced consonant pairs the way Sanskrit-derived scripts do — a single letter like க can represent k, kh, g, or gh depending on context.
Type normally in Tanglish mode or on the visual keyboard — the vowel-sign panel lets you add precise uyir mey combinations so classical verses read exactly as intended. Many users paste Thirukkural couplets or Bharathiyar's poetry here to share on Instagram or WhatsApp.
Tap the 123 button to open the number panel. It shows both Western digits (0-9) and traditional Tamil numerals side by side, so you can pick whichever your audience expects.
Type your comment on kactyl.com/tamil/, tap Copy, then paste directly into the Facebook or YouTube comment box on desktop or mobile. This works identically to pasting into WhatsApp or Instagram.
Popular picks include வணக்கம் (vanakkam/hello), நன்றி (nandri/thank you), காதல் (love), and பிறந்த நாள் வாழ்த்துக்கள் (happy birthday). The Emoji Combos hub below has these and more, pre-paired with matching emoji.
