About Tanglish
Tanglish is the first AI keyboard built for the way Tamil diaspora actually text — in Romanised Tamil. You already type vanakkam, romba nalla iruku, seekiram vaa da. Every day. In WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram. But autocorrect turns "vanakkam da" into "vanakkam Dad". Every. Single. Time. Tanglish fixes this. WHAT IT DOES Real-time Tanglish spelling correction. Type vanakam → instantly corrects to vanakkam. Our AI engine knows 93,000+ Tanglish words and learns from every Tamil speaker who uses it. Smart next-word predictions. After vanakkam → suggests da, machi, pa. After romba → suggests nalla, miss, kashtama. Predictions that sound like how we actually talk. Generation-aware suggestions. Boomer Tamil sounds different from Gen Z Tamil. Tell us your generation — the keyboard adapts to how your generation speaks. Emotion-aware predictions. The keyboard reads the mood of your conversation and shifts suggestions accordingly. Works everywhere. iMessage, WhatsApp, Instagram, Gmail, Notes — every app on your iPhone. THE COMMUNITY Every suggestion you accept is a vote. The Tamil diaspora collectively decides what standard Tanglish looks like. Diaspora world map — see where Tamil speakers are active globally. Dialect quiz — find your Tamil dialect fingerprint. Chennai Tamil? UK Tamil? Malaysian Tamil? Contributor tiers — earn points for every accepted suggestion. Rise from Peter to Mapla to Machi to Kalakar to Thalaivar to Methai to Aasaan. FOUNDING MEMBERS The first 1008 users get Founding Member status. Gold pin on the diaspora map. Contributor voting unlocked from Day 1. PRIVACY FIRST Your keystrokes never leave your device. We hash words on-device before any signal is transmitted. Password and payment fields are completely blocked. Full privacy policy: tanglish-ime.vercel.app/privacy BUILT BY THE DIASPORA Ideated and co-built by a 16-year-old Tamil-American from Dallas, Texas. Built because there was nothing in between broken autocorrect and formal Tamil script. Free to download. Free forever. Vanakkam da.
