Frequently Asked Questions(அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்)
Instant answers to common questions about typing, formatting, and compatibility.
QHow do I type in Tamil using English letters?
Type the phonetics of the Tamil word in English letters. For example, typing "vanakkam" and pressing Space produces "வணக்கம்". Typing "thamizh" produces "தமிழ்".
QIs my typed Tamil text saved or sent to external servers?
No. Fast Tamil Typing executes 100% inside your browser memory using local JavaScript. No keystrokes, personal details, or clipboard contents are ever transmitted or stored remotely.
QHow do I type tricky letters like ழ (zha), ற (Ra), and ண (Na)?
To get ழ, type zh or z (e.g., azhagu → அழகு). To get trill ற, type capital R (e.g., aaRu → ஆறு). To get 3-loop retroflex ண, type capital N (e.g., kaN → கண்).
QCan I copy this Tamil text to WhatsApp, Word, and Facebook?
Yes. All output is encoded in universal UTF-8 Unicode 16.0. You can copy and paste directly into WhatsApp chats, Microsoft Word documents, Google Docs, and social media without font corruption.
QWhy do some old Tamil documents look like English gibberish?
Legacy Tamil documents produced before universal Unicode standardization often used ASCII font encodings like Bamini. You can paste and convert them with our Bamini to Unicode Converter.
